Beth's Birthday Party

Beth invited her friends to her birthday party at Woody's Cafe. This is part of the Life Christian Church which is a few miles away from us along Hwy 30. The cafe is really cool, & is often where Cheryl & Beth have ended up during the car shows held in the church parking lot during the year, whilst I look at all the musclecars & hot rods. This doesn't look at all like a traditional UK church &, if it wasn't for the signs outside, it looks just like a large office/warehouse/school complex.

Beth's party included four huge 'St Louis style' pizzas, unlimited soft drinks, & a game of ten-pin bowling in one of the four full-size bowling lanes at the cafe. There is also a large inside climbing area (like Imagine in Ashford), arcade games, pool & air-hockey tables, & a massive projector-style TV.

There were about 15 of Beth's friends there & they all had a really good time. They all liked her cake which we had ordered the previous evening at the local Dierbergs supermarket. Not only did it taste & look good, but it was individually hand-iced & included a toy for Beth.

Probably the biggest difference from Beth's previous parties was that after the food she had to sit on a chair & open the presents that all her friends gave her. She received lots of really nice presents & the volume of the screams from the girls were a good indication as to how 'cool' that particular present was.
