Jill's Journal: Yesterday we did something entirely different! The five of us headed into popular beach destination Ocean City, Maryland, which is just 10 minutes away, and went on a pirate adventure. The girls were quickly painted with pirate tattoos and christened with pirate monikers: Excellent Erika, Mermaid Madelyn, and Vicious Victoria. And then we headed out to sea (or at least the bay).
The girls (and 20 of their closest honorary pirate friends) got to battle and defeat the evil Pirate Pete on an opposing "ship" with water cannons. They found a message in a bottle. And finally, they followed a treasure map through the bay to find sunken pirate treasure. What a fun kid adventure for our little scallywags!
With the girls still exclaiming, "Aaarrgh!," we then headed over to Ocean City's boardwalk and spent a little time strolling, people-watching, and enjoying ice cream. A lovely afternoon.
And then it was back to the ponies...and the deer! This awesome picture is of Madelyn in her bunk, dozing off herself to the sight of two deer napping not far from her window. Wow.
