Pirate Island

"Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates."
-Mark Twain


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed with the things you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain



On Friday night, Mike took us to Pirate Island. It's like a combination of "The Mayan" and "Chuck-E-Cheese." The whole restaurant is pirate-themed (even the servers) and there is an arcade for the kids and each kid gets 2 free tokens. I heard that there is usually a live band, but they weren't there last night. The kids menus turn into pirate hats and someone comes around making balloon animals. Bridger's was a dog before he dismantled it to be a sword like Saxon's. We got the "spicy" pizza which was pretty good. It was cinnamon-spiced pinapple pizza. The arcade was packed, but the kids loved it. Saxon tried everything, while Bridger stuck to his favorite, Dance Dance Revolution. They ended up winning a pirate flag and 2 pieces of candy. It was fun and Saxon made Mike promise before we left that he would get to go back 2 more times :) Thanks again Mike!

That sounds like a really fun place! I had the weirdest dream about you the other night. You got arrested for being naughty (on so many levels) and you were like living this double life type thing. So random and it was pretty funny! Who knows where that came from!
