this isnt a birthday idea just a sleepover that i had with one of my friends. its great for those boring weekends or a filler in the middle of the summer, when all of us 13 year old girls are bored out of our minds with nothing to do. it would also be a cool birthday if you are on a small budget though. i invited my bestfriend over for what we thought was going to be a  small sleepover. first we went to our local rec hall where there is a pool, rock climbing and tennis courts. we went rock climbing and hit a tennis ball for a while until the pool was open for public swimming. in the pool we went on the slide, in the waterfall area and just hung out for about and hour and a half. we rented off an area of the rock climbing wall because not many people were there at the time. we had an entire section to ourselves! it was awesome. then we went swimming again for a while because if you go later at night they open up a tunnel section with slides, light up water falls and a small cliff to jump off of into really deep water. it was a wednesday during the march break so we were pretty much the only people there (we went back in around 7). we left the rec hall about an hour later. on the way home we stopped at the local pizza parlor (it was about 7:30 by now.) and had pizza and wings and pop. then we went to the dollar store. we bought facial masks, hair supplies, chips and other junk food, and 4 disposible cameras. we were with my mom the whole time, and when we got home we were suprised to find that she had put together a scavenger hunt for us to do! while me and my friend were doing the hunt, my mom set up our sleeping area and food on a small table.our scavenger hunt led us to a movie store gift card, so we walked over to the store and rented 2 movies. we also got gummy bears and balloons just for fun lol. we walked back to my house and were again suprised to find that my mom had set everything up, even a spa in the bathroom! we went to the spa room and washed eachothers hair over the sink, did masks with cucumbers, did makeup took lots of pictures and did our hair. then we washed the makeup off so we wouldnt have to do it later. then we watched our first movie. after that we built a fort cause we were bored and you have to admit its fun even as a teen! we blew up our balloons and ate our gummy bears. then we played board games in the fort and took it down. we ate almost all of our  junk food, but saved lots for later too. this whole time we were laughing and taking pictures and just having fun! then we put on our next movie. after that we just played with my bird for a while and went on my computer for a while. then we played video games, board games and at about 3 am we drifted off to sleep. in the morning we woke up at about 10:30 and had a breakfast of donuts, cinnamon buns, fruit and juice/milk. we dropped off my friend at about 1. i have to say it was the best sleepover i have ever had. i want to do it again for my birthday but with way more people. it would be awesome. we will probably go to a hotel instead of just to my home, and our transportation will hopefully be a limo!!   well i hope this hepled you have a great birthday or sleepover!
