Last weekend my parents and my siblings had our annual Brandley Family Reunion. The best part was it was PIRATE themed! So all of the activities we did were based on the theme. The first night we got there we made pirate hats and paper dolls with our pictures on the top. We ate dinner and then went to play "Marshmallow War" (which is steal the flag...but you have to shoot the other team using mini marshmallows and a one inch PVC pipe). It was so much fun.
After the game we went back to grandma and grandpa's house and watch Black Beards Ghost and had a sleep over.
ARRRRR!!! The next day the captain (Grandpa) surprised the deck hands (grand kids) by taking them on a treasure hunt.
Although the reaction wasn't quite like he expected. ALL OF THE KIDS WERE TERRIFIED
None of them would come near him...some even cried.
When they finally realized it was grandpa they agreed to follow him on the treasure hunt. They began with a clue attached to a (chocolate) gold piece and followed the clues around the house and yard...
Until they found the "Treasure Chest"
Which was filled with all kinds of goodies!
It's a good thing the captain was willing to share his treasure.
Kailey didn't care what the captain had for her...she wanted nothing to do with him until he had changed his clothes and washed off the beard.

Here is me in my pirate outfit...
I don't look as intimidating with the big belly though.
Troy even got into the Pirate spirit. We didn't get a picture of him in his hat, hook, and eye patch though. Oh well you will see it for Halloween.
Of course my sister Michelle and I had to get in a "belly shot" She is due three weeks ahead of me.
These are my parents and siblings (minus one brother who is on a mission to Korea).
