AVAST ME HEARTIES...thar's gold in them fields!!!

On a sunny day in ye ol town me first mate Emery was out playin when she stumbled upon something...

BLIMEY A MAP!!!

Second mate Ty was just as surprised to finally discover a map to the hidden loot

"Shiver me timbers Cap'n...we've found the map!"

When Cap'n arrived home, he discovered his mates dressed and ready for treasure hutin by me proud beauty Miss Shannon



We set off on the hunt searching for the hidden swag always on the lookout for scurvy pirates that might send us straight to Davey Jones' Locker

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (empty)

Aye, it was Ty that first spotted the key...now to unlock the riches we seek


We traveled afar, with our two best scouts as lookouts for scruvy dogs

Piper's favorite word this day was "Arrgggg", a fine mate to be



X marks the spot, the treasure is near



Cap'n had his two best lads dig for the gold, and yo and behold they struck it rich!


First the key and the trusty ol' lock



PIECES OF EIGHT!!! WE FOUND GOLD!!!

Loot fit for a king, hidden by pirates on the run, and disovered by some salty ol' dogs in constant search of the treasure so often spoke of by ye Cap'n. A long search was finally over, now to keep the three young pirates from fighting each other for possession of the booty!

That treasure hunt looks like way more fun than what the kids did at school. Mylah and Emery found one of the clue's outside. So much fun!

Did you "mess" with the first few pictures of Eme? They look like watercolors... the sky and grass are intense!

Michelle, all I did with those pictures of emery was bump up the saturation of the colors a bit. The sky was so beautiful that day and I have been wanting to practice photographing clouds (its hard to get them exposed right).
