The Smith's: July 2008

Wednesday, July 9, 2008

Our anniversary was this past monday on the 7th and it was a lot of fun. I thought we were just going to eat here in town,but I was wrong. Brian said that we should make a tradition and go to the temple every year on our anniversary so I called and made reservations to stay at the Temple apartments that night. The temple was closed monday so we went tuesday instead.We decided to open our gifts the next day when we got home cause it was already getting late. So we got in the car and headed out. I noticed when we were on the freeway that we weren't getting off so that's when I figured we were going to LA anyways for dinner. We got to the Pirate's Dinner Adventure in Buena Park across from Knott's Berry Farm. Neither of us had been there and I hadn't even heard of it. It was really fun though, we got a necklace and a purple piece of material to wear around our heads( but we didn't wear it). This place is like Midevil Times where you sit around and eat dinner while the show is going on. The food was really good. The show lasted about 2 hours and there were gun battles, sword fight, tricks, and the audience even had to get involved. In fact, Brian was a volunteer(not really) but he had to put on a short purple vest, a hat, and carry a big treasure chest and then walk around the whole thing with a bunch of other guys. It was funny, but our camera didn't work in the dark so no pics. We had a good time. Then we were off to the temple. When we got there we ate our year old wedding cake which was actually pretty good. The next morning we did a session,took some pics and headed back home. When we got home we opened our presents! Overall it was a great, fun anniversary!!

Pirate's Dinner Adventure

They took this picture of us when we first got there, that guy is supposed to look like a pirate. We sat in the purple section, so we had a purple pirate that we had to cheer for during the battle.
This was our pirate, he was really acrobatic.
This was the set.

The Temple

We wrapped it pretty good as you can see, in plastic, cardboard, and foil!!

Brian being goofy
Feeding Brian,well, pretending to feed him.

It was good! The cake tasted fresh but the frosting wasn't as fresh. It was better than we thought it would be.
The next morning at the temple!!

Our gifts

He gets me flowers every month on the 7th, but these are the same ones I had at our wedding!!

Carpinteria

Here we are just playing games, it was a lot of fun. I got really sunburned the first day so the rest of the time I wore a hat and a t-shirt. It was nice to relax and not have to think about working. I'm officially done working now!!
