Pirate Party!

This past weekend, Tyson and I hosted a pirate themed costume party at our home. We had so much fun! The night included dinner, pirate jokes, pirate trivia, and five rounds of pirates dice. I always enjoy hosting parties in our home, as it gives me the chance to cook for a big group of people. The menu for the evening included:

grilled salmon with mojo sauce
homemade pepper cheese breadsticks
honeydew and apple salad
frog-eye salad
margarita dip with fresh strawberries, apples, peaches, and vanilla wafers
rum cake from the Cayman Islands
various snacks

We decorated our patio and backyard with fish netting, pirate flags, and tiki torches. We even had pirate music playing in the background. To all who came, you looked great in your costumes and we appreciate what good sports you all were! We had so much fun dressing up and playing the part! The dice tournament was a blast, and we hope everyone had as much fun as we did. ARR!

Below are just some of the great pictures taken Saturday night! Enjoy!
