Tepkers Land on Alki

We had a great time Saturday dressing as pirates and taking Alki Beach! The Seafair Pirates landed ashore amidst cannonball blasts and a very large crowd, decked in pirate attire of many extremes! Collin seemed to "get" that it was all for show once we got there, but was relatively nervous about encountering the pirates that morning. He asked questions about their treasure, their teeth, their mannerisms, whether we'd need our shovels, etc. Owen on the other hand kept shouting: "Mom, there's another pirate! I saw one! Did you hear that?! Mom, there's another one!"
We spent the morning prepping by adding tattoos and sashes, eye patches and jewels. Of course, it was blazing hot and it's tough to walk and take everything in with all that gear and an eye patch!

The Boys slid down the Pirate Slide together. Although you're supposed to go one at a time, they planned ahead and one waited for the other at the top so they could slide side by side! Sneaky ... ; )

Owen wasn't so sure about the 1/2 mile walk to Pirate Landing, so I got my exercise!
