Well the world didn't end yesterday. If you don't know what I'm talking about google May 21, 2011. Ok so anyways we figured that on the off chance that it did end we should go out with a party...I guess that would fall under "eat drink and be merry...for tomorrow we die" oh well. hmmm....maybe there is a reason we weren't taken up in the rapture :) We celebrated Violet's 4th b-day on Saturday. And since she loves Pirate's we had a pirate themed party at the beach.
Here are the girls. Ready to go to the beach!
Saturday morning we had the best breakfast at a place that only serves breakfast. Pancakes, biscuits and gravy, omelets...yum.
Oh and the chocolate milk came with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. The girls were in heaven!
After breakfast we went to the beach to play for a while. The girls rode around in the dump truck and we all chased the waves and dug in the sand.
Run ! Those waves are going to get you!
In town we found a carousel.
Claire clung to me for most of the ride, but by the end she was having a great time.
Then they rode the little cars. Claire was walking around a little tipsy after this, I think she had had enough of the round and round. V and Peter rode the tilt a whirl. and V just hopped right off and ran around, and Peter was a little sick.
Family picture in the fry pan. I'm not entirely sure why there is a giant fry pan in town but there is.
V got a Jessie doll from Toy story for her b-day. She is in love! V has carried that doll around ever since she opened it. 
V though this was a throne. This was in the Marsh's free museum, where you will find "jake the alligator man" it's a strange store filled with all these old bar games and antique weird things and then the typical touristy stuff. it's a strange place but we had a fun time.
Apparently I'm a tease.
Next we hit up the ice cream parlor, called "Scoopers" It was so yummy! and the scoops were huge. I have never seen my brother John not finish an ice cream cone but he didn't even come close.
That night we had a fire on the beach and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. V has no interest in smores but she loved adding little sticks to the fire. 
The next day we went to the arcade to play before heading home. Peter and Violet hit a couple of jackpots on a game and they won enough tickets to get this giant fake jewel. So Violet the pirate went home from the beach with some treasure. When is the next predicted apocalypse? It seemed to be a great excuse to hit the beach! We had a blast.
See y'all in 70 days!

What a great birthday. That is so cute that she is into pireates. Not to many girls put that on the top of their birthday theme lists. hehehe. Does she have a new haircut? She looks even cuter now. Maybe just getting older I guess.
Happy Birthday Violet! I can't believe she's 4 already. We may have to have alittle party for her over here.
So fun at the ocean!
