Pirates Dinner

The boys LOVE to dress up as pirates.  I constantly have to draw treasure maps and tell make believe stories about pirates.  Scott and I were trying to think of something fun to do as a family so we bought tickets to the Pirate dinner show in Buena Park.  We thought this would be perfect for the boys.  How could it not be?  So we planned the whole weekend around this considering it is an hour and a half drive from our house. We were super excited and we left it a surprise for the boys until we got there and we let them wear their pirate costumes in public on a random day other than Halloween.  So we were having fun in the lobby waiting to go into the theatre when all of the sudden the lights went out, gun shots were loud and 3 pirates swung over our heads on ropes.  It was the preshow and we weren’t expecting it AT ALL.  So Harrison starts screaming on the top of his lungs.  I don’t mean crying.  I mean SCREAMING.  Well it was a little scary considering we weren’t expecting people to fly over our heads in the lobby. 

 

From there, it was over.  Harrison would not even walk to the theatre to go sit down.  Well that obviously scared William.  I sat with Will at our seats.  Take that back.  I sat in our seats while William hung out under the dinner table.  3 different pirates came up to us and told him they would keep him safe.  The boys weren’t having it.  5 minutes into the show and more screaming (let me emphasize on screaming, not crying), we didn’t want to ruin everyone else’s experience, so we left.  We were wrong on thinking the boys would love the pirate show. 

Funnier part is that every night we do “high-lows.”  We ask the boys what the lowest part of their day was and what was the highest (best) part of their day.  Would you be shocked to know that both of the boys “high” of the day was the pirate show?!!!!!  What?????
