Little Cousin, Mariano, and his family invited us to join him to celebrate his 4th birthday. It was a beautiful day at Oak Meadow Park. I came prepared with my “I Love Jack Sparrow” button, my pirate flag, and a picture of my boyfriend, Jack Sparrow! Mariano was very impressed.
The Birthday Boy, aka The Pirate!
Mariano and Me…. and Jack Sparrow!
Mariano and his guests were pirates for the day! His mom, Hennessey, did a fabulous job with the decorations, food, and special touches. The barbeque chicken pizza is to die for!
There was dressing up like a pirate, digging for treasure, pirate tattoos, a balloon guy, and a piñata! So much fun for the kids… and the adults, too.
Digging for buried treasure!

Little Alonzo woke from his nap and joined the party, too. Oh, and I just had to stop and take a picture of these beautiful blossoms right there by the picnic area!

The piñata took a little while to bust open, but it was a treasure chest for Polly’s sake. They have to be sturdy!
Ready for the pinata!!
Give it a good wack, Pirate Mariano!
Pinata Booty!
Birthday cake and cupcakes, the grand finale.
Happy Birthday to you!
Blowing out the candle….
Yum!! Decadent chocolate cake!

One final act of silliness; I made everyone wear a mustache and take a picture. Boy, they felt weird, and it was very hard to move your lips! Hard to smile even.
Willy, Pam, Rebecca, me, and Mariano…. with no mustache?
Rebecca and me, just darling!
Thanks for having us, Mariano! Love ya!’
Have a sunny day!
I’m so glad that you captured this, because I heard the stories from Grandma. Sounds like fun! Wish I could have been there too.
