Pirates of the Caribbean

Disney has been shooting Pirates of the Caribbean in Hawaii. Part of the set is about a 30 minute drive from home. Last week we went as a family to take some pictures of the Queen Ann, Black Beards ship in the movie. Terina had a blast! She thought that we were going to watch a movie on the ship. No matter how many times we tried to explain to her that they are making the movie she just didn't get it.Here we are driving to the park that looks across the bay. Kasala was able to get some ok pictures from there. They had lighting boxes up so it was hard to see the whole boat sometimes. Terina loved looking at the boat and was waiting for pirates to come by.... of course no pirates came but she was willing to wait all day for them.Last night a group of girls got together and drove back to the dock to see if we could catch Johnny Depp. We left around 8:30pm and by the time I found a place to part it was around 9:30pm. We hung out, talked and laughed. It was so much fun. I got a few more pictures of the ship while they were filming but there was so much "fog" around it that many of them didn't turn out very good.Here we all are waiting for Johnny Depp. My legs were KILLING me and I could hardly bend down to take this picture but I had so much fun with these girls! And after 3 hours of waiting for Jack Sparrow to come out from make up.... he finally made it :) They aren't the best pictures but for being pushed and bumped they came out ok. We had a lot of fun. He was super nice and took the time to go down the line, shake hands, and sign autographs. I even stuck my hand out and he shook it! I wish I knew how to work the camera a little better. Or.... I should have just took my small digital one. We even got to meet super producer Jerry Bruckheimer! He was great too. All you had to do was ask for a photo with him and he'd stop, smile and let you snap away!! All in all.... It was a great night with great friends. Hopefully we get to do more fun things like this before we move!!
