Arrrgggghhh!!!!!

Ahoy Mateys! Welcome to the Sea Gypsy!!
Eliana sponsored our family for a pirate expedition out of Hyannis. It was a fantastic adventure! The guides were so entertaining and fun. There was an entire story to the trip, a map to assemble, a scalawag pirate to blast with water cannons, and even a treasure dredged up from the deep. Whew, what a day for us seafarers.

Hoisting the colors

Blasting Slash, the mutineering pirate who begged for mercy after being blasted and stealing our treasure. We finally decided to let him aboard and he showed his change of heart by offering us Pirate punch. (which tasted alot like orange soda)

Emma had a great time, and the leaders of the crew were so sweet with her. . Lucy was a different story
Emma was convinced the water cannons were telescopes, I don't think she spotted much though

This was where Lucy spent most of the voyage, pirates who are awakened early from their naps are not very happy!

But Isaac had a fantastic time, arghing, shouting, putting his hands on deck, hoisting the flag, and blasting the water cannons. And at the end, all the kids even got a fistful of treasure they pulled up out of the water. Mission Complete.
