We had so much fun at Colin's 6th birthday party. We had it at the Pirate Playground on Folly Beach. What a great playground! And best of all, mom (yes, Page, not me) really got into the Pirate Persona! We had pirate bandanas for all the kids - and of course, eyepatches. Didn't do the hooks or swords - after all, these are mostly six year old boys. Of course, if we poked someone's eye out, we did have the patch to cover up.....
Colin doesn't quite look like the intimidating pirate, in his Piggly Wiggly shirt, does he?
And Colin did have a field trip to Magnolia Plantation. Of course it rained..... And we got stuck on the bus on the way home. Not because anything happened to our bus, of course. The OTHER bus hit a tree in the Magnolia driveway and none of us could go. After half an hour, I suggested that maybe we let the kids off the bus. They were getting stir crazy. I was shot down. Another 15 minutes go by and I make the suggestion again. Sure enough, by this time the teachers had had enough. We got off the bus. Luckily, we were right in front of their playground. We got to play for about another half an hour before they would let us leave. As for the other bus? Those poor kids had to stay on the bus. Yep, about 40 kindergarteners on the bus for an hour plus. For a bus that hit a tree but only had a SMALL SCRAPE on the side of the bus. Mmm hmmm, and we wonder why our public education system is in shambles. Sigh.

Inquiring minds want to know: were there bathrooms on the bus? That would be MY biggest concern. You know how I am!
Comment Number Two: Travel on a bus is NOT supposed to have the same senseless delays as Travel on a plane...
