The Pirates Are Coming!

Day 37
27th June 2009Our friend, Elaine, invited us to her 40th birthday party, at the Ocean Bay restaurant. It was all very exciting for my daughter, not just getting to stay up later, but because when we got to the venue, she saw that there was a "pirate" ship close to the shore! The children spent ages digging out hiding places, fighting the pirates and generally winding eachother into an over-excited state for a couple of hours. It must have been great fun! My son decided that he was hungry and tired for at least the first hour, but after that I was able to mingle a bit and take some photos, too. It was lovely to celebrate with Elaine in such a beautiful scene, she couldn't have picked a better evening!
Later on, though, as the sun was setting, the mist came in over the hills, and cast a muggy blanket over the town. It looked quite impressive.
Happy Birthday, Elaine!
