Pirate Adventures...Proof that a girl can be the captain of a Pirate ship too!

Last night before we had the official photo shoot for my basement project, Kaleyna and I (who I must mention don't get get out much) decided to make our night special. We kicked it off with dinner at Boston Pizza. We shared a huge plate of nachos, a small salad and a Cajun rice bowl. It was a lovely meal. We had a great time joking around with the waiter and one of the waitress' that I went to highschool with, reminiscing about old school hip hop, and 1980's nostalgia. The night got interesting when I ventured to the washroom and didn't notice that I had gone into the men's room until I glanced through the crack in the stall briefly and thought it odd that a woman was standing up to go pee...Yes it took me a minute, give me a break here. I quickly made my exit before anyone saw me, but I could not escape the uncontrollable laughter of Kaleyna sitting at the table watching me slide from one gender specifically labeled washroom (stick person with pants) to the other one (stick person with skirt.) In all fairness this is 2007, women wear pants and conversely men are also sometimes known to wear skirts...

Before dinner we had picked up a pirate's eye patch, and sword at the dollar store, because in all my wackiness, I figured it would be fun to force my friend to dress up like a pirate and take pictures of her at the pirate ship park. The pirate ship park is this fantastic play structure in our neighboring city of Belleville. It's a life sized pirate ship built in a park, the perfect place for a 30 year old woman and her almost 30 year old friend to go play pirates. I barely noticed the people pointing and laughing at us, and the bewildered looks on the children's faces, because we were having so much fun. I took a ton of pictures, but I can only post some of them at a time. However, you may see other pictures pop up on my blog if I happen to be writing about booty, or pirate's treasure (more likely it will be booty ;) )

So as two young mothers ventured out into the world, having been stuck in a world of Dora the explorer, princesses, Pokemon and Yugi-oh... Well it only just dawned on me now that we really didn't venture that far from our comfort zone playing pirates in a kid's park...Oh well we had fun doing it, maybe next time we will go to the Splash park and take pictures as mermaids, or go to chuckie cheese's where a kid can be a kid.
