Anniversary Weekend

We were at Tyler's family reunion during our anniversary, so we celebrated a little late. We headed down to Phoenix for the weekend. First we caught a Diamondbacks game. It was cool to see the stadium. The roof was closed because it was Africa hot outside, and it was different to be watching the game totally indoors. It reminded me of the many games I went to with my dad (go Rangers! Someday it will be your year!)...good memories. Then we stayed overnight and had sparkling cider and rice krispie treats in bed...very fancy! The next morning we woke up, had breakfast, and went to the Mesa temple. It was very beautiful...lots of southwestern flair, and lots of cool cacti outside! We had planned to go tubing down the Salt River after the temple, but ran out of time because the temple took a little longer than usual (totally worth it, though!) Instead, we had some delicious Mexican food at Rosa's (thanks for the recommendation, Kristi) and then went and saw Dark Knight (the new batman movie), which Ty has been waiting for desperately! After the movie, he spent the rest of the evening running around our house with a black blanket around his neck for a cape. Luckily, he had also gotten a batman toy as part of his anniversary present. I'm married to a 10 year old, and I love it!

The sign next to his batman toy says "101 reasons my husband is a super hero." (Ty had just gotten back from the gym.)

The cacti outside the temple...Ty had trouble keeping his eyes open, even though he was the one taking the picture....to his credit, it was very bright out there!
