Saturday we went downtown for the annual children's pirate festival. Every year they have an air show, parade and fireworks to celebrate this area's pirate heritage. As we watched the parade, we saw lots of people dressed like pirates, throwing beads and candy. The boys loved to try to catch the beads. Well, the parade only lasted about 25 minutes before they had to evacuate everyone because of a tornado warning. As we were walking back to our car, we got to see all the (empty) floats that we missed. It sure looked like it would have been an awesome parade. They also cancelled the fireworks, which was a big disappointment. We are glad that they told us to leave when they did though, because just as we got to our car, it started pouring. We would have got soaked! So, instead of the parade and fireworks, we stopped off for some burgers and fries, and overall we had a great evening!
Arrgh, mateys!

How fun! Have you seen the Backyardigans where they are pirates and sing "Pirates say 'Aarrrgghh'"? Bentley loves that one. Ahhh, the sophistication of life with toddlers.
