Last Saturday..

...this happened...

Saturday we surprised one of our friends with a hen party. Spoke to her the morning after and we are still friends! She is one of those person's who actually likes playing games and charades, my opposite exactly. I was glad it was her and not me! We were really nice about it all. It could have been so much worse!

This is what she had to do:

Yup - she got to be Pippi Långstrump/Pippi Longstockings/for a day. We dressed her up in different colored stockings, put orange braided hair on her; well you can see for yourselves. She was really pleased about the look. Not bad at all! Most kids started out being kind of afraid to come and play with her, but most overcame their shyness pretty quickly.

Then:

We had lunch on the cliffs - we were lucky, it was a beautiful day! Isn't the cliffs and seaside a pretty sight?

Then:

In the evening we went to a small restaurant for a bite to eat. This shrimp sallad was as scrumptious as it looks in this picture! Yummy!

Then, as usual, "Pippi" stayed out half the night - and I went home. Nothing unusual about that either...

I had a question about what a "hen party/bachelorette party" really is:
That is when a woman is getting married and her friends take her out in public, making her do things like "acting like a moron", be Pippi Longstockings (like in our case), sell different things to the public "in public" (i e in front of a store or something). OR if you are nice you just take her out for a good meal...
The male equivalent is a "stag party/bachelor party".
You must surely have something like it?
