For my 9 th birthday, my parents were all out of ideas so we decided to do something competly different! Amazing Race! I invited at least 20 friends and we were all paired up in twos.To reconize each team my parents but us bangles of diffrent colours and our envelope would be yeelow because your bangle was yellow or you would be the blue team cause your bangle was blue, but you had to come in a swimming suit shorts and comfi shoes. INVATATIONS: I took  a map of Thailand and drew a little  red dot of were I lived and told them to take a train and airplane to my house just for a joke. Because I lived in a complex I had to reserve the pool and all the staff helped me put everything in place. My dad took care of the cake because he is a french pasterie chef. My mom took care of the snacks:chips popcorn apple juice,orange juice,chocolate,sweets. DECORATIONS: we couldn't really do decorartions cause it was near the pool but we put streamers on the floor and confettis everwhere and we put toys in the pool. GAMES:My mom and dad took two weeks and a half to prepare all the games.She took pieces of dominos and wrote a letter and put them in a bucket on the other side of the pool and then by turns you and your partner and to go and get one domino and when you got all of them it would make a country, we had to go around the complex and find five different flags that you have told too look (your squad would near house 17) we had to go around the pool twice with an egg on a teaspon that ws in your mouth. We had to make a puzzle. after we had to do four laps in a huge pool and that was the last challenge after that you had to grab the yellow flag (because you were the yellow team) Then my dad made trophies  and he gave me the big trophy because me and my friend won. All the others fought I won because my parents told me were when what the answers were. But i didn't because my parents organized this at their work or while i was at school.But you can had more games and make it even more fun by just making it your way so I hope you had an insparation from my birthday Party. Good Luck !!!!
