L turned the big 27 this past weekend, so K and some friends threw a birthday party for her. However, much to her surprise on Friday K took her to a nice hotel in town that has a bathtub (L's birthday was on Saturday)! L loves baths, and our apartment only has a shower, so she spend about an hour on two different occasions soaking in a bubbly garden tub. K also treated L to a wonderful dinner at Pizza Hut that evening. There are only three options for fine American dining in our town - McDonalds, KFC, and Pizza Hut. Since we thought a birthday celebration was reason enough to not have to carry a tray, we decided to go to Pizza Hut since it is the fanciest : )
The next morning we walked to McDonalds for a wonderful pancake breakfast. Later that afternoon we went bowling with our American buddies. Then we headed over to a friends apartment who had made chicken soft tacos - L's favorite. Our friend went through the effort to make homemade tortillas, queso, homemade chips, Spanish rice, had crispy shells sent from American, and even made a double layer yellow cake with chocolate icing. Also the party had a theme - it was a princess party. She went all out!
To top it all off K planned party activities including a ring toss, quick draw, write you initials on L's face, and target shooting. After the games we ate the cake and ice cream, headed into a sugar coma, and ended the evening by watching some of the first season episodes of the Cosby show. It was a great evening.
