I know what you’re saying. Did she or didn’t she wear that Star Trek outfit? Well, technically yes, I wore it, but no, I chickened out and did not wear it to the party! I looked too much like the girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who turns into a blueberry!
So the theme of my brother’s birthday party was Outer Space. To give their party that spacey feel, they wrapped the furniture in foil.
Yes, Captain Picard was there! That’s my brother as Captain Kirk.
The food served was all of my brother’s favorites: pepperoni pizza, popcorn balls, sugar cookies, potato chips, olives, quesadillas, potato skins, mozzarella sticks, gingerbread cookies, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, lemon pie and chocolate pie.
There were relatives there I hadn’t seen in 10 years! Cousins with children already in high school. Even 4 classmates from my brother’s high school showed up! It was like, This Is Your Life!
I should have taken more pictures, but it was kind of like the twilight zone, seeing all these old (you know what I mean) faces.
At one point, we were all given our boarding passes…
Glow stick wristbands.
… and took a trip to the moon!
Ok, actually, they projected a Disney Moon Ride film onto the wall.
Mr. Disney, special effects have certainly improved since 1954! Wow, what a cheesey movie!
So, it was a lot of fun, and I’m glad I went. It was the first time I’ve gone to one of their themed parties. Next time, I hope to bring Tom and the kids!
