Your merry band of pirates

With every great adventure a well rounded cast of misfits, miscreants and toddlers is required to truly make the story epic.  I would like to introduce you to your starting lineup:

The Stay At Home Dad / Amateur Thespian:

One would surmise that he might have been a former international banker or pro surfer in days gone by.  But you are incorrect.  This fine looking gentleman was once a forester before dedicating his valuable talents to professionally raising two young daughters.  His interests include BBQing, hiking and staring down walruses.

The Bread Winner / Supermodel:

Often mistaken for an Italian supermodel, the wife toils the daily grind as a highly regarded cartographer.  Smart and beautiful she provides the necessary coinage so the rest of us hooligans can partake in our daily adventures.  Her hobbies include hiking, cake decorating and sewing.  She also cooks a mean cornbread.

The Rock Climber / Ballerina:

Maya, the eldest daughter is three soon turning four.  She is a whirlwind of energy and has lots of spunk and attitude.  At the age of three I believe she would win most bar brawls she were to participate in.  An avid dancer, she loves ponies, mud and Scooby Doo.  Her hobbies include ponies, climbing, jumping and Gaelic poetry.

 The Cutie / Hugger :

Gabrielle, affectionately known as "Gabby" is a smily sometimes shy one year old soon turning two.  She loves to participate in any activity her sister is currently involved in and she loves to grunt.  She participates in a "Calvin and Hobbes" type relationship with her pet monkey.

 The Monkey:

Discovered in the jungles of Borneo, "Ah-Ah" joined the family at an early age.  A part time astrophysicist, Ah-Ah likes to go everywhere with Gabby.  Ah-Ah's hobbies include bananas, and parcheesi.

The Ponies:

At last count I believe there are several trillion ponies in this household.  My knowledge of ponies is vast and if ever an occasion to win money or save my life with pony trivia existed I would be a very rich or very alive man.  Here Pinky  Pie sports her new mohawk haircut courtesy of Maya.
