Yesterday was my cousin Faith's 11th birthday, and I was invited to her party. The party was very fun, like all of her parties. Her mom, Mandy (who is also my cousin because my mom is her aunt, but I still call her Aunt Mandy anyways), is one of the most creative people I know, especially when it comes to Faith's parties. Last year, the party was movie-themed. We went on a movie based scavenger hunt, watched a movie (of coarse), played games like movie hangman, and a game where we had to guess what movie a picture was from, and more games that Mandy made up, and we did tons of other fun stuff. This year, the party was a Luau. It was adorable all the way down to the invitation. The invitation was a message in a bottle, so it was a rolled up piece of paper inside of a bottle. The paper was placed in sand and seashells that were in the bottle. When I arrived, Faith equipped me with a grass skirt and Lai (those Hawaiian flower necklaces). Once everyone had come, we headed to a small beach in walking distance from her house. There, we swam to the middle of the lake where there was a raft that we jumped off of. After an hour of that, we headed to Faith's backyard. Her yard was decorated with Hawaiian flowers, a limbo area with sand underneath, and even a little lemonade bar, with colorful glasses and those mini umbrellas you put in drinks. The whole time, beach music and tropical music was being played on the CD player. We had a lot of fun jumping on Faith's trampoline in our grass skirts and limboing until we couldn't limbo anymore.
All good things must come to an end, so then it was time to go home. The goody bags contained the CD of beach music we listened to, along with LOTS of candy. It was definitely a spectacular party that I will always remember, and everyone had a great time.
