A certain unicorn girl keeps trying to have pirate lessons with you, but you're much too popular! =P

Heh, too true.  But hey!  Pirate lessons sound great!  Any time you want to bug me about that, let me know!  I could use an excuse to stop taking pictures for a few minutes and actually DO something.  I'm getting really tired of being a photo-op, not a character.

All conversations with you are in 5 word intervals!......  That's OK though.
Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question.
Anyone could answer that.
"Cake or death?"
"Eh, cake please."

Sad but true.

And thanks for the props, Rich!  Since you were the only one on here who actually saw the treasure hunt, do you have an constructive criticism?  I'm completely open, and I really want to make it even better for next time.

aww man I wish that we knew that you were doing that my kiddo would have had a blast.

Well, I fully intend to do it much more often this weekend, since it's ankle-biter weekend, haha.

Basically how it works is that I hide my treasure chest somewhere (so far I've been hiding it just inside the green door back at Games, above the Water Wheel), then I use my map to have the kids try and figure out where the treasure is.  It works best this way since that's the basic area where I put the big "X" on the map.  But I could ultimately do a similar hunt just using the compass and leaving the map out altogether.  This would allow me to do it in other areas of the shire.
