Just before the holidays, Rhett while inspecting the repair work being done on our Pirate Ship announced that he thought it was missing one thing.  “A new pirate ship will need a new pirate bell.”  He went home to discuss this with his family and they all agreed that a new bell for the new pirate ship (when it was finished being repaired) would be a great idea.   A trip to Bunnings was on the cards.

This week Rhett brought in the new bell to show us and he spent a lot of time selecting the perfect spot for it to be installed.  He left a little note on a sticker where he thought the bell should go so that when Dad came in over the weekend he could install it for us.

The little note says – “Dear Daddy,  Please put the bell here.  Love from Rhett.”  So here Rhett is with his tools helping Dad to install our new Pirate Ship bell…..

…..and give it a good test ring as well.

AND WE WERE SO GLAD, BECAUSE ALL THIS WAS IN TIME FOR OUR ANNUAL PIRATE PETE VISIT TO KINDY – this year being his 19th year of visiting.  PIRATE PETE LOVED OUR NEW BELL.  HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN SUCH A  BEAUTIFUL PIRATE SHIP BELL IN ALL HIS ADVENTURES.
