Brandon's Pirate Fieldtrip

OK, I'll admit I went a little picture crazy on this field trip, but it was so much fun! I'm pretty sure this doesn't qualify as "educational," but the kids sure had a great day!
The Captain (and Master of Ceremonies)

The cannon fires...and we're off!
A fun water gun battle
Swabbing the deck
A beautiful view of the shoreline
Now he's a "real" pirate.
Swordfighting
A little sabotage
Panama City Beach in the distance
Trying to find the hidden treasure - we're looking for an orange buoy...
There it is! Turn the boat around!
Tossing out the grappling hook...
Reeling in the treasure chest - heave ho!!
The treasures Brandon picked...
Gotta have a little limbo!
When Brandon's turn came around again, they abruptly dropped the pole very low to the ground as a joke. Brandon doesn't take jokes very well. He turned away and started crying. The other kids started rolling under it.
Brandon was still pouting while his friends did pirate dances.
The smiles finally came back.
