This past Sunday we got to celebrate Jace's 4th birthday with our family and friends. He had been requesting to have a pirate party for some time so that is what the theme was. We started the party off with a reptile show by Reptile Ron out of Fresno and it was a big hit! Everyone had the opportunity to hold a few different snakes, a tarantula spider, turtles, a variety of bugs and a few other things that I'm probably forgetting. When the show was over the kids set off to find the buried treasure by going on a treasure hunt all over my parents yard and ending on a sandbar across the river where Brody buried the treasure. After dinner we passed out pirate hats, eye patches and swords for the kids to run around with. We had such a fun time planning the party and are glad that everyone had a fun time.
The kids were so excited to start the reptile show.

Brody is getting the kids all ready for the treasure hunt.
And they're off!
Jace had to reel in a clue from the middle of the pond.
All the kids had to eat a gummy worm off a string in order to get their next clue.

We dug in the wrong spot for a little bit but finally found the treasure!

Everyone was hot so they jumped in the river for a swim and then had a canoe
ride back to my parent's house.

Boys will be Boys! They are off to fight the bad guys :)
And we LOVE our 4 year old boy! Happy Birthday Jace!
Oh my god! I would never be able to do that. These kids are brave! I am 30 and I am still scared of all of this. Wow! What a fantastic party. For me parties are like where you book an LA venue and invite your friends over for lunch or dinner and have a dance party.
