Aw, this little one is so darn cute! I wonder what was he thinking?
September 19, 2011. International Talk like a Pirate Day is a holiday when everyone in the world would talk like a Pirate... Ohhh arrr!
Ahoy, Matey! means hello in the Pirate language...funny, isn't it?
Like many people I was fascinated by pirates as a child. I think the idea of pirates has actually been romanticized nowadays.
Were you fascinated by pirates as a youngster? Would your kids freak out at the sight of them you think?
My lovelies, hope you have an arrr, great weekend! xx
Wounderful costumes, must be great for the kids.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
ooooorrrr, Ahoy matey well blow me down.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful costumes!! The small one must not have wanted to be a pirate. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think we've romanticized them a little too much - they're actually quite a serious problem even today.
Ahoi :)
ReplyDeleteHave a very wonderful weekend my friend :)
ReplyDeleteCaptain Morgan there looks mighty good! :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful weekend
ReplyDeleteGreetings Crissi
I loved and was fascinated by pirates as a child and still love them! What a fun post for the day! Such a cute little guy! And, yes, Captain Morgan does indeed look great! Hope you have a great weekend, Betty!

adorable child, and i love the two pirates.
ReplyDeleteFantastic post. My 3yr old grand would freak out at the sight of pirates, he would be afraid.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE pirates! I'm a total Pirates of the Caribbean freak and we have a pirate festival every year here in Tampa!
ReplyDeleteThat kid is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a beautiful weekend here in the Midwest! Sunny skies, temps in the low 80's! We are going to two different festivals. Fun weekend! Hope yours is great, too!
I know that in some seas there are still pirates and try to capture the passing ships in these areas and often they do it by jumping in the other ship.They don't attack to the crew fortunately.I can't imagine how is life for someone who is every day in the sea and never walk in the land.Have a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat costumes! It's nice to see that adults can be full of whimsy!
ReplyDeleteARRR!
I have a blogger friend in Norway and she participated in this Talk Life a Pirate day over there. Wonder what Norwegian pirates sound like?
ReplyDeleteA hoy, Matey! I shouldn't believe that, but if you want to believe in him, then, go ahead. Nice pictures Betty.
ReplyDeletepat, looks like a wonderful weekend to me!:)
ReplyDeleteas for me, i'm staying indoors...relaxing and watching movies this weekend.
oh Betty, im so fortunate to find your comments page open for this time. Whenever i visited you, either my timing of commenting was quite delayed or the comments were turned off.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, pirates are always a mysterious character for the young ones as well as for the older lot. For me, i always wondered as a kid what do pirates do after looting the other ship since they remained (as per my knowledge then) 365 days on sea. HAHA.. i got to know about pirates when i used to watch the disney cartoon Little mermaid.
Happy weekend lass. Have fun. take care. and visit my blog whenever you can. love love love love and love.

ReplyDeleteShiver me timbers, Lassie! What manner of beasties prowl about on yonder shore? Steer clear of them sharp little bear-cub teeth and keep yer trusty cutlass handy.
Arr! I recognize the man seated whilst gripping his flintlock. He's a liar, a thief and a cut-throat. All-in-all, a FINE pirate! Give him my regards, and check yer purse before ye take yer leave of him. He is as cunning as he is old. Har, har, har!!
The closest I can get to anything pirate, is Chips Ahoy! Somehow I don't think that's quite pirate worthy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Πόσες γεννιές δεν μεγάλωσαν με τις όμορφες ιστορίες των πειρατών!!!

Pirates scare me even more now than when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, especially the little boy in contrast with the distinguished looking old man (pirate) in the background of the first picture.
Hugs to you.
Happy weekend, Betty.

These are lovely photos dear Betty. I have always been fascinated by pirates and since Johnny Depp came along as Jack Sparrow, they have taken on a whole new fascination. :)
ReplyDeleteI should be keel-hauled for I forgot 'Talk like a Pirate Day' this year, I usually get dressed up and have a bit of fun with my grandchildren.
I wrote this little ditty back in 2008 when I did a post for this day on my blog.
"Heave to and weigh anchor
and let go the spanker
the call of the sea is our fate
So sharpen yer cutlass
and get out yer compass
its time to leave land in our wake.
We've drank lots of rum
and had so much fun
but its high sea adventure now,
So its full sail ahead
even though we've sore heads
feel those waves as they crash on the bow.
Arrrr!! " :)
Have a great weekend!
xoxoxo ♡
Lovely costumes, great shots.

Aw, I so want a teddy bear costume.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about pirates being romanticised. Mind you the pirates of old, of the movies were often portrayed as lovable rogues totally unlike our modern day pirates who I'm pretty sure have yet to say ohh arr.
Thanx for the lesson in pirate-speak! I'll know just what to say next time my cruise ship gets hijacked!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteI do wish you a lovely weekend, my dear Betty! Mine has just begun!!! Big hugs to you.

I was more into cowboys than pirates -- I guess growing up in the middle of the country had something to do with that. I love the pirate costumes, however, and the little boy is cute.
ReplyDeleteAwesome costumes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I am now your newest follower and looking forward to reading more!

Oh, my boy would love this event to dress up as pirate. I like their costumes!
ReplyDeleteThe little boy is so funny :)
ReplyDeletenice set of photos, today
Even as a kid I thought of pirates as bullies. I think we fail to understand that we teach values to our youth in a confusing way. We allow them to make believe but fail to realize that fantasy man later become reality. The brain is very complex.
ReplyDeleteNeverland ??
AARRRRR! Too cute, indeed!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
:-)

Estupendas y entrañables las fotos que nos has dejado. Como siempre un placer haberme pasado de nuevo por tu casa.

ReplyDeleteErin

ReplyDeleteLovely costumes, mainly the first one!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!

Fun photos, Betty. I was fearful as a child but my own kids were fascinated. I think it's all in the media of the day.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you were fascinated by pirates because you live on an island ! I never bothered about pirates, I have seen the sea for the first time when I was 16 !! Pirates I only knew from Carneval in Bonn or Cologne.
ReplyDeleteI love your pirate pictures, the faces are so expressive !
That post really made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI've gotta say it was great!
I have never heard of it before or knew such holiday existed.
Tiernas y graciosas imágenes, well done, regards...
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful and nice. Very real pirates and a teddy bear cute. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a fun day. I love the costumes and expressions. Beautiful captures!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day, love the costumes. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are out taking more adorable pics like these!! XXOO
ReplyDeleteIt's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and we have lots to be thankful for. Had a family Thanksgiving dinner today (unfortunately not all family could be here, but all are doing well). And the weather is phenomenal - sunshine and WARM !
ReplyDeleteLovely couple of benign pirates - and the young lad ? .. must be a stowaway ;-)
That first shot is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteUnusual and fun photos, Betty. Love them -- matey! :)
