My 11th Birthday Party on Ice



Having fun with my friends was inevitable as, for some, it was a first, and for some, it just another great experience of skating on the cold, hard ice. One of my friends, Zindzi is a figure-skater and has practiced speed and figure skating for three years, but in a race, I nearly beat her!!

Our first guest to arrive was Inge. While we were putting on our ice skates, Kabelo arrived. Slowly but steadily, all my ten friends arrived. We skated around the jam packed ice rink. When any of us got a bit tired or tempted by the goodies on the blue and white themed table, we crashed on to it, to grab a bite.  When our savoury waffles from Milky Lane arrived, me and Zi-Yi both tried a salsa and jalapeño waffle. On the first bite, I was unlucky to bite into a jalapeño while Zi-Yi bit into a place without a jalapeño slice. After having said that it wasn’t that spicy, she took another bite, and this time, she ate a jalapeño slice! We both reached for our drinks and glugged them down.

Me, Zi-Yi and Zindzi got told off twice for making a chain of three people, but Zi-Yi needed a bit of help, so since me and Zindzi were around, we held hands with her and took her around the rink. 

When we cut the cake, our candles’ flames matched the colour of the candle! I was the first person to have those candles on my cake, so all of my friends thought it was wonderful. The cake was a fluffy fresh cream cake with vanilla sponge and a hidden strawberry jam centre. So hidden, in fact, we only found out when we all had a second slice at home.

Sometimes, in the ice rink, they turn most of the lights off and put on coloured spotlights. That happened twice during my party!

I fell twice on my right knee and once on my left knee, but I only have a bruise on my left knee!

I had a wonderful time and my friends were VERY thoughtful with their presents and I am thankful to them for coming and helping make my birthday a BLAST !
