Alicia’s birthday party was a lot of fun. We were all so happy to be together. We went for a
walk on the nature trail, where we saw a snake! Then we swam in the lake. That was fun until
Joey fell off of the rope swing and hit his head. Then we decided to stop swimming, and Alicia
opened her gifts. She got lots of great presents. After that, she blew out the candles on her cake,
and we ate cake, drunk soda and played games until dark.
