Day 28: Dead Men Tell No Tales

It's still spring break and the sun finally came out but it was not particularly warm. We went to the pool anyways because spring break + open swim = pool time required. But it was cold. I mean 45 minutes later their lips are blue and shivering so violently you might have thought they were having a seizure cold. 

As my neighbor said: "Nothing like mild hypothermia to get them to sit still for five minutes"

What 45 minutes of swimming will do in Northern California in March: blue lips and goggle eyes

I declared that it was Pirates of the Caribbean week here in the Hansen household. After all, it's a mere 8 months from our next Disney World vacation, so we better start prepping them ("them" meaning Cam since he was only 2 last time we went) with essential Disney characters. So yesterday we watched The Curse of the Black Pearl and today was Dead Men's Chest. 

Parental Guidance warning: Camden at first was freaked over the sea creature pirates in the second movie. But then laughed when one got sliced by a sword and little fishies flopped out. So I guess...rated PG for sea life violence?

As a bonus, I will give you a tremendous throwback of 4 year old Calen going through pirate training with the real Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney World circa 2013. And in true Calen form, he was a show stopper. 

Back story: This was a street show in Magic Kingdom, and he was picked out of the crowd along with maybe four other kids. He was the youngest (and smallest) by far and was last to take his turn, but when he did Jack Sparrow said "Now, we've all been waiting for THIS one!" Calen didn't follow the instructions well at first and attacked Jack's first mate freestyle, causing the whole audience to crack up. Serious Disney Magic caught here in only the first ten minutes of our first day in the parks.
