After all the great suggestions, and ideas, (thank you everyone who e-mailed and posted ideas), we decided to have Ryan’s party at a kids indoor amusement park “in the big city.” It is about an hour from where we live.
We went to another kiddie amusement park (outside) not too long ago, and Ryan just loved, loved it. He has already stopped talking about Christmas, and now just wants his birthday to come. As he was falling asleep tonight, he said, “Mommy, I’m going to dream about my party.”
Now the hard thing is deciding a theme- Ryan goes back and forth between wanting trains and construction, so I think we may just do both- have Thomas plates, and construction truck cups. I guess it will all work out in the end.
The only down part to having the party so far away, is it is not a convenient location for our friends in our town. Fortunately, the place doesn’t have a time limit, so if people do make the drive, they can stay as long as they want- they won’t just get there, have an hour, and then have to turn around and drive home.
We have quite a few family members “in the big city,” so it should be a fun time. Now if I can just get everything done between now and then, and hopefully, cross-your fingers that no one is sick on the big day.
