So you know that some little girls want to have a princess party for their birthday. Well, Hannah actually got to go to a real princess party a few weeks ago. One of her class mates is a real live actual princess and Hanna was invited to her birthday at the palace. The mom, also a princess, came and picked up all the girls for the party and took them there. The party lasted for 6 hours and I had the privilege of picking Hannah up after. Emma and I were driving there, following our map, not quite sure where exactly we were going. We turned right into what we thought was the palace, and sure enough we were correct. The first thing we notice, that made us think we were in the right places, were the military guards with the machine guns, not just a couple at the gate but a couple on every corner. Feeling a little nervous and not exactly sure where Hannah was in the palace, we drove up the street, noticing that we were being carefully watching, and found a place to park. I was not sure if I was allowed to park there, so I sat there for a moment, waiting for someone to come up and either shoot me or tell me to move.
Neither happened, phew, so I pulled out and drove down another road to where I thought the party might be. Emma spotted someone we know so we parked nearby, and away from the machine guns and began walking towards the guarded gate. Once inside we notice a group of men in dark suites and ties standing around at another gate, so we walked over to where they were and went through the gate. Inside was a large feild, the size of a soccer fields, with games and playground equipment and a kareoke stage, and a ice cream vendor, and tables of food, and a very large cake ... well you get the idea. Emma was overwhelmedly excited and ran off to play, while I greated the princess and thanked her for inviting Hannah. She told me ot help myself to food, the ice cream was delicious, and I watched the kiddos play for a while, while the sercet service watched me.
Finally Hannah noticed I was there and came over to greet me. I gave her a hug and asked her how the party was. In classic Hannah style she looked up at me and said, "Brilliant Daddy!"
