Captain Hook came to my party!!
 

I think first I’ll talk about my birthday party.

For my birthday party I decided to have a dress up party where you had to dress up as a classic movie or book character. It was the COOLEST party I EVER HAD!

The characters were: Peter Pan (me!) Peter Pan’s shadow, Captain Hook, Another Captain Hook & the Ticking Croc (all from the movie Peter Pan) Mulan (from the movie Mulan), Luke Skywalker (from the movie Star wars), Rex (from the movie Toy Story), Aladdin (from the movie Aladdin), Amy Carmichael, Sherlock Holms, Anne (from the movie Anne of Green Gables), Captain Haddock & Tintin (from the series The adventures of Tintin), Pipi Long-Stockings (from the movie Pipi Long-Stockings), Alice in Wonder Land & a character from Treasure Island (I forgot her name).

I hadn’t seen Dad very much at the party but I found out why soon enough. Mum had gone into her room to fetch her camera, and came out grinning wide. The door was open just a tad, I saw something move in Mums room through the opening. The door suddenly swung open, then, low and behold, who should come out of the room but CAPTAIN JAMES. HOOK HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!! It was really Dad, but he looked just like the Captain Hook in the stories. Hook always wrote his name as Captain Jas. Hook. Every one laughed, no one but Mum knew he was going to do that! “Were is Peter Pan!” he shouted loudly. Every one pointed to me. I grabbed my dagger and responded “Down! Dark and sinister man! Haveth thee! On guard!” which is a quote from the book. We had a very violent duel, fighting with our wooden swords. While we where fighting Peter Pan started shouting cheekily, “Tick, Tock! Tick, Tock! Tick, Tock!” Every one else, who where standing around the two enemies in a thrilled large circle, started to shout as well. Tick, tock! Tick, tock! Tick, tock! Eventually Hooks sword hilt broke, and Pan had him cornered! Victory was close for the Pan!

 ‘Tick, Tock! Tick, Tock!” Hook was scared; he HATED that sound with all his cruel heart! Then someone in the crowd pushed a little boy who was dressed up as the ticking croc out into the ring and he headed for Hook. Hook was absolutely PETRIFIED!!! He stared at the croc, then at Peter Pan. Peter, who had a mischievous grin that went from ear to ear. I pointed my dagger towards Hook saying, “Walk the plank, Hook! Walk the plank!!” Hook, wide eyed with hatred and fear jumped into his room with a yell as if jumping off a plank. Every one clapped and laughed like mad! That was really fun!!! And it was the end of Captain Jas. Hook!

Every one came and all the kids and two adults dressed up, which where two of the best things. We had presents, which, like all kids, is an EXTREMELY BIG highlight. I’d tell you all I received but that would either bore you or make you want your birthday to come sooner, so I’ll skip that. We did four games, the first game was musical bobs then we had another BIG highlight, ice cream cake! (Yummy!) With 11 candles around the cake and an extra tweety bird candle, for ‘good luck’. When you pressed a button, it would sing, “I tort I taw a birt-day cake. I did! I did see a birt-day cake! Oh! We wish you a happy birt-day! We wish you a happy birt-day! We wish you a happy birt-daaay!!” that was cute. Then we played a type of guessing-who-am-I-yes-or-no-question-like-type of game. Involving kids 8 years and up. Then while the boys got the slide ready the girls played a similar game with the kids 7 years and down. Then came the time for the super-duper-wooper-kooper-trooper-looper-slipry-slide! Yahoo! Often kids teamed up and went together sometimes saying, “One for the money, two for the show, three to get out of here and here we go!” or just going off wildly and sliding by them selves.

 

Then one by one every one left eating a thanks-for-coming-&-goodbye fredo frog.

!!!THE END!!!

May. 29, 2008 - Your party

Posted by Grandad & Grandma L


You started your blog on my 77th birthday, but I didn't have a Captain Hook visit. We went to Sizzlers for tea, however, and went to see "End of the Spear", a new movie about the Aucas in Ecuador. It tells the story of the 5 missionaries who were killed by the Waodani (Aucas) in the Amazon jungle in 1956. I well remember the news reports back then. The best part was the amazing aerial movies of the flying - especially Nate Saint's method of circling while trailing a long rope with a canvas bucket on the end, and getting the bucket to hang stationary in the centre while his mate in the back seat wound out more line to lower the bucket into the centre of the native village. He was able to exchange gifts with them before they made ground contact. Mum would know the story "Through Gates of Splendour" an earlier book by Elizabeth Elliot, wife of one of the other missionaries. She went in to live with the Waodani a few years later and helped convert them from their savage way of life.
I am reading the book, which tells a lot more than the film, and it is great. Love to all from us.
