Ingrids Birthday Fun: Pirate Pool Party and 1920's with Al Capone

This weekend after much stressing and planning of Ingrids Birthday I finally got to reap the benefits of it all. Saturday afternoon we spent a day at Juli's apartment pool which is beach style, meaning the pool has no stairs but gradually declines like a beach, so cool and fun! The theme was Pirates! We found really cute Pirate duckies at party city and cool knick knacks to decorate with. Also Jasem decided to use his boredom and creative streak to make Ingrid her own flag...lol and as much as it is cool its also very creepy.


So we swim and mess around until its time for cake! Jasem again did this, it was the first time I relinquished my cake baking for someone else to do and think that he did a good job. Ingrid ended up licking the frosting off of the Skeleton which made some great cannibal pictures :D

After the pool party we go to Ingrids house to change into our costumes and surprise her by telling her to put on her flapper outfit. Now due to the extreme of this outfit she was very scared to go out in pubic and had no idea what we were planning...I love messing with peoples minds hehe. So we all get ready and Im wearing a black dress I had bought a couple months ago (when I had money) which was on sale ($180 to $30 woot!) and never found anything to wear it to. So I bought some fringe at Jo Anns and my mom sewed it to the hem creating a great 1920's inspired flapper dress! So simple yet drastic, I spent the rest of Friday night wearing it around the house and twirling watching it sway and move. I swear I really am almost 20 lol. So we drive and drive all the way to 192 next to Old Town, Capones Dinner Theater Show! We came here because of the great 1/2 off discount...which we later realize was for a good reason.



As we are taking pictures out in front of the building we have tourists staring and some actually take pictures while we are posing for our own cameras and these people actually ask if they can take pictures with us! So of course we say "Sure!" because its how we get our kicks. Im pretty sure that was the highlight of everyones day not just mine, we are perfectly at our happiest when dressing up and taking pictures. I sure do wish we would have charged them, at least enough for the tolls home lol! We enter and see the actual characters talking with the guests and they start joking with us.

So their dinner is Itallian buffet style, very yummy lasagna but long line. The show starts and right away in the first song we can tell its going to be a long night. I dont mean to be picky but.... I would have paid $10 extra to see the Pirate dinner show if I knew how bad this was. Not everything was bad though, I could tell that one of the girls was sick and therefore her deep alto voice was really weird and not projecting and the squeeky blonde was not good at singing with her character voice. But we got through it and if anything it was a place to wear our outfits finally and just have fun. Id recommend the show to anyone who is not Musically inclined, its too distracting if you are. But still much fun and worth it.
