Katia's Birthday Party

On Sunday we went to Katia’s birthday party. I was a little bit excited, because Lada was going to be there. It was at “Jump on In”. JJ was going to be there, but my mom and dad weren’t staying.
We got there pretty early, but Katia was already there. Katia was Russian, and her baby sister’s name was Nastia! Like Nastia Liukin (I think that’s her name). It was really cool. BTW Nastia Liukin is a gymnast from the Olympics! Lada came later. We went into a gym room “A”. It had an obstacle course and two HUGE slides. There was also a big bouncy thing. Lada wanted to race down the huge slides, so I went with her. The slide was very fast. It was scary. I don’t get used to scary things that quickly. Then she wanted to race me on the obstacle course. I didn’t want to race, I wanted to get used to it first. There was a place you had to climb, then a place you had to squeeze (I just made it through that) and a tunnel. Then there was a wall to get to the slides. It was like a rock wall, but easier to climb. Lada beat me, but I beat her the second time. I raced my sister, and I beat her too! We went into the bouncy thing, but it wasn’t bouncy at all. I went in the obstacle course a few times. That was the most fun to me. Then the ref called us to go into room B. Lada said it was basically the same. I thought it was even more fun. There was a slide for two people and another obstacle course. For both rooms, it was actually kind of boring after you tried everything. Because you knew what was going to happen. All the climbing made me hot and sweaty and hungry. We finished playing, and we had pizza and cake. Finally!

While I was eating, my mom came in. I wanted to ask if we could go to Katia’s house, where Lada was going but my mom immediately changed my mind when she said we were going to Sushi after! I immediately stopped eating. I first wanted to go to Katia’s house, but then Sushi is my favorite food!!!!!!! (I even capitalized it!) I wanted to have Sushi, but Lada really wanted me to go to Katia’s house, and I didn’t want to hurt her feelings by saying no. My mom and dad and grandma were all hungry, so my mom was the “bad guy” for JJ and said no, we were going to Sushi. I was very, very, very happy! We went and my mom ordered lots of salmon and some tuna. Mm mm! It was delicious as usual! JJ had some too. I was stuffed. The Sushi was the best thing the whole day. I wish I could have more… my day was very fun! Because of the Sushi, of
course!

Laser Tag

Today was Tristan’s birthday party. The party was at Laser Zone. Jasmine and Tristan were playing in the Thriller Zone so we joined them. There were three big slides, and I liked the middle one the best. I liked it because I felt safe and it looked the fastest. The thing that I liked the least was the rock wall that you had to climb to get up to the slides. I wasn’t very good at it. Laser Zone was a fun place so far, but I couldn’t wait until the cake and Laser Tag.

Finally it was time for Laser Tag. My code name was CC. JJ’s code name was…JJ. I wanted it to be boys against girls, but my sister was on the opposite team. It was me, Connie, Jasmine and Tristan for the green team. I was #04. My light blue shirt glowed, but my shoes were glowing so hard. It looked really cool. I wished I had worn darker clothes. We got huge and very heavy vests. The laser guns were attached to the vests. The laser gun was a two hand motion. I kind of liked that, because I could hold the gun steady and I was ready at all times. I was getting even more excited. The lady introduced us to our bases. There were huge obstacles that glowed. But that was good because you could hide behind them. She showed us how to get points. I was excited to start. Then a microphone said, “The game has begun”. I saw some red starting to come over. The green team was hiding and shooting people, so we were getting a lot of points. The first game we won. The second game I was braver to go over to the red base. When the thing said I was invincible, I went and got a couple five hundreds. Then, I saw JJ and shot her and shot her. Then my invincibility was terminated. I went back and recharged. This game we won again! I had a lot of fun, but there were only two games. Waa!

For lunch we had ONE slice of pizza. And the pizza was very small! We had a chocolate cake and we went to play games. I didn’t really like the cake. We each got six tokens to play games. I earned tickets, and with the tickets I got two tiny airplanes for prizes. Another fun thing we did is a train on the huge slide. We connected hands on the big slides. I liked to be the caboose because I didn’t have to worry about someone grasping on my shoulders. That was very fun too! The day was very fun. I really want to play laser tag again. I was bothering my mom with that sentence. I really want to play laser tag again!
