Becoming a Pirate

Over the summer, my mom read a book to Everest about pirates and a treasure hunt. Since then, he has been obsessed with treasures and treasure hunts. He made Nonnie promise to do a treasure hunt the next time she came to Indiana. Of course, she did.

She had all the stuff a pirate needs. When Everest woke up he had a note and a treasure map waiting for him. He found his hat first. And is off to find the next red "X", treasure map in hand.


Reading the treasure map, Leaf was listening intently.

Hat, eye patch and sword, what is next?


A real treasure chest with a lock too!

Leaf wearing the eye patch and watching as Everest opened his treaure chest.

WOW, there is money in the treasure chest! What a great treasure hunt. Thanks Nonnie and Papa.
Papa made the newspaper sword. He taught Leaf and Everest how to make them. Now we have about a hundred paper swords floating around the house.
