Pirate Sword Fighting

To continue with the Pirate themed weekend, I bought 4 swords that are made out of the same material as pool noodles--no one could get hurt. During our time at Pineridge, there were a few epic sword fighting battles. Most of which consisted of Paul being the bad guy and the cousins attacking him. Paul, being the cool uncle/dad played without any adult seriousness and instead fought wholeheartedly and even made limbs disappear when they had been struck. Turns out you can grow limbs back by eating carrots (a handy tip, wouldn't you say?). In this shot you can see that Paul and Kaia have both "lost" arms in the battle and that Isaac is fighting with his teeth--a talented boy. Seeing Paul play like this is one of the things I love so much about him. He can instantly come up with great games and ideas that kids love.
