It was all Ronan's idea. From start to finish. He wanted to have a pirate party--not a birthday party, just a pirate party. One of his requests was for Daddy to build a cannon, and you know Josh, he took that on with pleasure! It took him a week or two design and built it, and then we were all set. Ronan asked me to invite some of his friends and his cousins & grandparents, of course. It all came together at the last minute, but we still had a good turnout for the party. The Green and Chase families came, along with Grammie, Memaw & Papa, and the Turanskis.
Here's Josh explaining how the cannon works.
Josh made three different-sized detachable barrels so that he could shoot tennis balls, Nerf footballs, etc.
Ronan thought it was really cool that Memaw & Papa dressed up for the party--they are such good sports!

Even Grammie got to shoot the cannon!
Josh is such a kid at heart. (: He has so much fun with this kind of thing & our boys love it, too!
Fire in the hole!
