Monster Birthday Party

Marina and I have been so busy lately we haven’t had time to have her birthday party before today. This year she was very clear how she wanted to celebrate – Monster Mini Golf. She has been excited all week for today.

We arrived at Monster Mini Golf early and they were ready for us. We had a lovely (albeit monstrous) party room. We had a short wait before her friends arrived.

First we sang “Happy Birthday.” Then our hostess led everyone in a game to see who knew Marina best. Every correct answer was awarded with a prize. Next they moved on to presents. Marina read every card before looking at the gift.

By then, the girls were ready for golf. They didn’t keep score, or use any rules, really. But clearly they were having fun. They got through the golf course quickly and headed for the arcade where each got credits to spend. Once they used those up, they shopped for prizes. That might have been the hardest part!
