There are tons of fun activities and things to do at a summer birthday party!

Kids
  • Host an ice cream social with different flavors and toppings for everyone to try.
  • Have a pool party where you can swim and play games in the water like Marco Polo.
  • Set up a scavenger hunt at a park and end the party with a picnic at the playground.

Teens
  • Have an overnight backyard camp-out with a bonfire and s'mores.
  • In your yard or at a park, play games like bean bag toss, ladder ball, washers, or Spikeball.
  • Plan a beach or pool day with your friends to swim, relax in the sun, have a picnic, or play beach volleyball.

Adults
  • Host an outdoor dinner potluck where everyone brings a dish to share.
  • Set up an outdoor movie night with popcorn, candy, and drinks.
  • Have a wine or beer tasting with a charcuterie board of snacks.

What's the best way to make slime?
I want to learn to make slime at home! I've heard a lot of recipes use glue and I think I have some at home, so that should be okay. Just in case, are there any slime recipes that don't use glue either?

I think people are planning on surprising me on my birthday...
A few days ago I noticed a group of my friends' parents talking in my church. When I asked my grandpa about it, he said, "I guess you'll find out next week," which aligns perfectly with my birthday! I don't think it'll be a surprise party, but all of them know I play drums and have been struggling with my ekit. Whatever happens, I hope I'll still be surprised. If I end up being right, would it be wrong to tell them I knew?

How do I tell if I'm lesbian or bisexual?
This quiz said I "might" be a lesbian. I definitely know that I like girls but I only sometimes think that I like guys. And while I think that some guys are attractive, I don't get butterflies thinking about them the same way I do when I think about women. Am I a lesbian or am I bisexual? How did you know that you're a lesbian?
