Ahoy, Matey!

When we knew we were going to be spending the week on the Cape, we asked our Cape expert friend, Jenna, for suggestions of things to do with the kids.  We knew we wanted to just mostly spend the week on the beach but everyone, even this beach bum, needs a break from the sun once in a while.  Jenna recommended the Cape Cod Pirate Adventures boat trip which sounded like the perfect thing for four little pirate loving boys!  

We booked a trip on the boat and headed to Hyannis for the day.  It worked out perfectly because it wasn't much of a beach day to start the day anyway.  Upon arrival, the boys were outfitted like pirates complete with vests, beads, and pirate tattoos. They were each given a pirate name as well...Hilarious Henry, Enthusiastic Evan, Captain Charlie, and Lagoon Logan.  The boys all signed their names to a flag that would later be hoisted up the mast of the Sea Gypsy.  

Once we set sail, the fun began.  The crew of the Sea Gypsy had the kids entertained the entire way as they pieced together the treasure map, hunted for treasure and defended the Sea Gypsy from other pirates.  Evan's favorite part was "All hands on deck, To the lookout bench"  when looking for pirates and Logan's favorite part was "Heave! Ho(ve)! Heave!  Ho(ve)!" while hoisting the flags and sails.  Such a fun event for four little pirates!
