The celebration at the Dream: How Varya and I conquered the mall

This day was special. Not just an ordinary Tuesday, but a real holiday – Vicky's birthday! And, of course, my precious daughter Varvara and I couldn't miss such an event. In the morning, there was a pleasant bustle in the house: bright balls, iridescent rain, and most importantly, the anticipation of fun. Varvara, who is only five, literally glowed with happiness, imagining how she would congratulate her friend.

It was decided by my "management" that our favorite shopping mall, The Dream, would be the main venue for the celebration. A huge space full of games, entertainment and, of course, delicious treats is the perfect place to celebrate a child's birthday. So, when the sun was already high, we set off, armed with a gift and a great mood.

A large and friendly company was already waiting for us at the mall: seven celebrants, as well as their parents, who were ready to share the joy with us. Varvara immediately joined her friends, and immediately a real pandemonium of children's energy began. Laughter, screams, the patter of small feet – all this merged into one symphony of happiness.

We went to the play area first. It was a real paradise for children! Mazes, slides, trampolines, a pool with balls – everything you can dream of. The children ran around like little hurricanes, exploring every corner. Varvara, despite her small stature, was at the center of the action, deftly climbing the nets and boldly rolling down the slides. It was such a joy to watch their sincere, genuine fun. As an observer, I felt like a part of this magic, remembering my childhood days.

Then we decided to try our luck at the shooting range, where everyone was able to win a small but very coveted prize. The children's eyes burned with excitement, and even those who missed the target received compliments and encouraging smiles. It was great to feel like winners, even if only for one evening.

Time flew by unnoticed. Tired but happy, the children were ready for the next stage – a festive tea party. We moved to a cozy cafe, where the main character was already waiting for us – a huge cake decorated with bright candles. When everyone gathered around and the melody of "Happy Birthday" started playing, it was really touching. Vika, confused and happy, blew out the candles, and all the children clapped together.

Then the most delicious thing began – cutting the cake and having tea. The children were given portions of fragrant treats, and they ate every bite with gusto. Varvara, whose cheeks were smeared with cream, blissfully told me about her impressions, and I listened to her with pleasure.

A trip to the mall for Vicky's birthday turned out to be a real adventure. The children spent the day full of laughter, games and joyful moments. And most importantly, we were able to give them this feeling of celebration, friendship and a carefree childhood. When Varvara and I returned home, tired but happy, she fell asleep almost immediately, taking with her sweet dreams of a bright, noisy and long-awaited day. Watching her, I felt deeply satisfied, because there is nothing more precious than seeing your children happy.
