B
When summer comes there is nothing better than having some people over for a summer party. People can sit back and relax, cook some burgers, enjoy a cold beer, and watch the kids play in the pool. What could be better?
Summer parties are what summer is all about and you don’t need a backyard pool to get a fun time for all. If you do have a pool, the party can happen around it. And once night falls, you can put pretty little lights on the water for some ambiance (气氛). If you don’t have a pool, you can rent (租) a water slide for fun.
No water theme? That’s okay. There are plenty of other ideas, like a BBQ. Each guest can wear a lei (花环) and you can make fun drinks with little umbrellas in them. Simply filling the pool with sand lets you pretend you’re at the beach with Christmas lights twinkling around.
As for food, if you don’t want to do the cooking, you can rent a hot dog machine so the guests can help themselves and you can have fun right along with them. There are also ice cream carts that everyone will love, popcorn machines and machines for guests to make their own cotton candy, all of which can be rented easily, set up easily and make your job as the host that much easier.
If you want to make the get-together a large party, what about renting a mobile petting zoo? This just adds to the fun. Clowns, magicians and superheroes are also a great addition to a party if there will be a lot of kids.
Nothing says summer more than hanging out with friends. Soon the cold weather will be upon us once again but we’ll have the memories of summer to last through the whole year.
