Grandson Walker DePlank, swashbuckling pirate captain
Our Louisiana
grandchildren and parents are busy celebrating Mardi Gras season.
Daughter-in-law Katie
sent photos she took of three-year-old Walker’s entry in his preschool’s Mardi
Gras parade Friday. Walker was Captain Walker DePlank, complete with sailing ship,
spyglass, buccaneer attire, and a potentially lethal pun for his name.
Ahoy, matey!
Walker’s parents
turned the kids’ little red wagon into a pirate ship. Katie made the sail. She
called to alert me that photos were on the way. She also praised our son Jeremy’s
shipbuilding prowess. She knew I would be an appreciative audience for both bits of information.
Capt Walker DePlank and his dad
Jeremy was especially
pleased with the moniker he chose for his little pirate.
Walker was one happy
pirate.
I was happy, too. I’m
addicted to puns . . . and grandkids.
Happy Mardi Gras
tomorrow!
that is one handsome pirate and what a ship... very creative parents and what fun
ReplyDeleteHow creative! I love the ship, and the pirate riding in the ship is too cute for words :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever pun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time for all.
How cute!! Yes, we are in full carnival swing right now. A fun time for all. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, that is so very clever. I love the pun.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on using the wagon too, very simple but certainly does the job.
You have such cute Grands Linda.
Mine are all growing up too fast. From 12yrs. to 19.
Where does the time go??
All Walker needs now is one of my parrots on his shoulder!
ReplyDeleteNow that is really clever. What a fertile mind. It helps having an adorable captain.
ReplyDeleteJust marvelous stuff. Cute and clever indeed.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and thanks to you I googled Mardi Gras and discovered it is akin to our Shrove Tuesday ie before Ash Wednesday.
