It was a beautiful spring afternoon and shortly after Gram and Pop arrived for a visit, we discovered that “Pirates” buried treasure in the sand box. The girls were so excited to dig and sift for treasure.
They found lots of great surprises in the sand but their favorites by far, had to be the treasure boxes filled with gold doubloons (aka Chuck E. Cheese tokens).
The funny part was that after finding the pirate booty, Brooke immediately said, “Thank you for the treasure box Gram and Pop.” She was on to them from the beginning. The next day however, Katelyn pulled me aside and told me she had to ask me a secret question. In a very serious voice she whispered,“Mom, are Gram and Pop the pirates?” I told her they were but she still wasn’t convinced. So later on she asked them herself. Either way, I love that she wants to “believe” and enjoy being a kid. Brooke on the other hand just wants to go to Chuck E. Cheese.
After the hunt we went on a nice walk while the girls drove their Barbie Jeep with their coin-filled treasure chests riding safely in the “backseat.”
Arrrrr, we love having Gram and Pop come to visit!
