MDW 2011: We are, we are pirates!

The highlight of our weekend was the merry time that we enjoyed with the pirate crew of the Fearless. Here, Rory gives us a fist pump to display her arm band, and ....

... here, Rory shows off her official "Urban Pirates" tattoo!

Aven was a little less certain that she had made the right decision to join the pirate life.

But her tattoo told a different story.

Our captain said it was time to set sail around the Inner Harbor of Baltimore!

The wee pirates received their official briefing from the funny crew of the Fearless, who entertained the kids for an hour at sea.

The pirates taught the kids how to talk like a pirate, dress like a pirate, and ....

... dance like a pirate!

Rory, Aven, and Mommy were dancing to the cool groves of the pirate music.







Then, the captain told the wee pirates to take their positions behind the water cannons as they practiced shooting tourists on land.

They were prepared, therefore, to fight off the evil pirate who attacked us at sea!

Her bravery was rewarded with two skull rings that Rory wore proudly for the rest of the day.

But the holiday weekend was not over yet! On Monday, we went strawberry picking at Homestead Farm.

This one was a little tired by the end of our many adventures.
