Last week we celebrated International Talk Like a Pirate Day. We were a bit late, due to other things in our schedule, but we still fit it in before the month was up. In the morning the kids rehearsed their play for the evening, and then we made hooks and watched some pirate videos.

In the evening we had hotdogs, mac&cheese, and beans. Afterwards we read some pirate books, did some pirate dancing, and then the kids performed a special play. In history several weeks ago we studied the Oregon Trail, and I found the old computer game onlin, The Oregon Trail, and the kids enjoyed playing it. We wrote a play based on the game and surprised Josh with it. To make things fair, all the kids “died” at once, instead of dying one-by-one along the trail. (If you’re familiar with the old game, you know what I’m talking about.) And that wraps up another Pirate Day.
