Boomers Birthday Party

On Saturday, I went to a friend’s birthday party. It was at an arcade type place called Boomers. As a guest, I got a card with five dollars worth of "Boomers money". I had to use my Boomers money to play the games that gave you tickets but there were ones that were unlimited, I didn’t have time to do those though. Outside there are cool things to do, and we also had it free for four hours starting from when we first activate the card. Outside. Here were go karts, a big track and a small track. There was also rock climbing. There was a water park, but it’s still winter so it was closed. There were five more cool rides, one was where there were a bunch of seats on a circular platform, it spins and does cool things, it was closed though. The second one was a boat ride that rocks back and forth, and it sadly was also closed. There was a merry go round that I didn’t ride because the horses were really small. There was also a teacup ride that I went on the last time I was at Boomers, but I didn’t go on it on Saturday. The last ride was a two seater that went in circles and you would swing with it. There was a part where you go upside down for a while and that was scary because my seatbelt or whatever it was that was keeping me from not falling off was too loose. When we went upside down, I was holding on really tight and gripping my legs, if I hadn’t done that I probably would have fallen head first (maybe not though). That was all just a description, now I’m going to summarize what happened. First, I arrived at the part at 4:25 P.M. and a lot of people were already there. We all waited with the birthday girl for 30 more minutes to see if more guests were going to arrive. We stayed in the arcade, but I didn’t do much because I was just watching other people. There was a connect four game and I helped many people win, but later on when I did it, I didn’t win. After all the guests arrived, we waited in line to go onto the big go kart ride. My friend was too short to drive, so we went on the two seater together. I didn’t press the brakes even once and they let us drive for a really long time, maybe 15 minutes. Many people collided with us, and I didn’t press the brakes even once, I also drove into some water on the side of the road so I got slightly wet. After we were all done, most of us went onto the circular ride that brought us upside down. Then we went to eat. We had pizza, juice, and fruits. After that we sang happy birthday and ate cake, the cake was really good but the frosting was way too sweet. After eating, we all went out to the arcade part to play. I didn’t use any of my money so I spent 2 dollars on a game where you pull down a lever that spins a circular thing and it lands on an amount of tickets, I only got 4. Then, I played connect four twice for 1.5 dollars each round, I lost both even with some help because I didn’t look at the buttons and pressed enter instead of go to the side. After that, we all went outside to ride the go karts again. Somehow the friend that rode with me before magically grew and was able to go on the go karts by herself so I went alone. I beat everyone, even the people who started before me and I only bumped someone once in the beginning. After we finished that ride we ran back into the line to go on again and we didn’t even have to wait. It was really fun and I beat everyone again. I was planning on running back into the line but my dad was there to pick me up so I left. I left at 8:30 P.M. and the friend that rode the go kart with me in the beginning didn’t leave until 10:00. I said thank you to the birthday girl and left. It was really fun, I only had 44 tickets in the end. I bought a Chinese Yo-yo for 25 tickets, I had 19 left so I used 15 tickets to buy 3 bracelets, and I used the last 4 to boy tiny candies. The experience was really fun and I hope I can go to Boomers again someday.
