We got to the backyard in Maplewood, New Jersey early and set up Iris's Pirate Fairy birthday party. The path was ready before the first guest arrived.
We introduced ourselves and the kids shouted happy birthday to Iris. Then the hour started.
An evil pirate crew had torn through a fairy village. Cleanup came first. Two teams cleared the deck and threw the mess onto the other team.
Then it was ship to shore. Cannonball, water, the mast, fairy treasure, and a race home while a guide playing an octopus tried to catch them. Iris was in that run. Then we opened the pirate-fairy puzzle boxes, and that is where the hour ended.
Iris asked to go back across the sea after the first treasure run.
Happy birthday again, Iris. Cupcakes followed the pizza, then we sent everyone home with party favors.
Stay Adventurous,
Ginny
