Birthday Party

     Like I said in my last blog, I 'm going to tell you about the Sól’s birthday party I went to. It started out with us eating a fantastic meal of hot dogs, birthday cake, chips, bread, and Coca Cola. The chips had a spicy sauce on them and a a blob of sweet stuff in the middle, and the bread was served with a mixture of shrimp, pasta, and veggies all coated in a thick sauce. The Coca Cola was in a fancy bottle and we drank it with a really neat straw. There were about 10 girls and 1 boy (her little brother) at the party, and we all knew each other. After a very early supper (3:20 in the afternoon!), everyone went upstairs to play some games. The first one was a present being passed around while music was playing. When the music stopped, whoever had the present in her (or his) hands got to rip some of the wrapping paper off. There were about 5 layers of wrapping paper and newspaper and packaging tape. I ended up winning the prize-a candle! It is a pink scent candle.
     After the first game, we played a second. This time, there was a garbage bag with clothes in it and everyone passed it around. When the music stopped, the person with the bag closed their eyes, picked a piece of clothing from the bag and put it on with their eyes closed while dancing. Everyone got to chose two pieces of clothing to put on and we all looked ridiculous in the end. Then, we took a walk around town in our crazy style. That was probably my favorite game.
     Once we returned to Sól’shouse, we started up the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I think it is a very scary movie, so I went home about 2/3 of the way through it. The party was really supposed to end at 6:00 and it was 7:05, so it wasn't like I was leaving early or anything. When I got home, I lit the candle. It smells SO good!
