I dragged the girls to see Captain Jim's Pirate Magic show, and we were not disappointed. Captain Jim knows how to entertain, and is extremely authentic with a real parrot and real peg leg (found out later this was the result of a motorcycle accident). Hopefully Captain Jim will entertain us again in the future. 
Afterwards, the staff passed out hats and noisemakers. The noisemakers were a huge hit with the crowd, and dancing was introduced as a distraction. Camdyn was keeping pace doing the Macarena, Chicken Dance, and YMCA. We then practiced counting up and down in English and Spanish.

As for Keeghan, she and mommy missed out, since they went to the doctor to confirm her first ear infection. It is a good first attempt, but she has her work cut out if she wants to come close to the number of ear infections of her sisters.
