PIRATE PARTY 2014!!
/A few weeks after my Dad purchased his boat, it was trucked from the Seattle area to Umatilla, OR for easier accessibility while he is in Idaho. When we first arrived in Umatilla, the rest of the H-dock crew were preparing for a pirate party, to celebrate the re-naming of one of the boats. Oh what timing we have!
We made a quick trip to the store for chips and salsa and returned just in time for the live music set up on the flybridge of the newly named boat. It was awesome! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The party was such a success, they decided to hold another one the next summer. What a perfect opportunity to have Hubbie spend some time at the boat!
This would make the third trip to the boat for Hubbie. The yacht club members all pitched in to have live music again and everyone bounced around from boat to boat snacking and drinking.

Dancin on the dock!
Our contribution was a fruit salad (with an attempt at a watermelon carved into a shark), pirate marshmallow pops, and lime pirate ships on blue raspberry ocean Jell-O shots. (Yay for Pinterest inspiration!) (And P.S.- blue raspberry Jolly Rancher jello is the best for Jell-O shots!!)
And the pirate theme would not be complete without costumes!
