Don’t get me wrong – we’ve gone to pump it up as guests, and hosted at pump it up. I fully understand the allure. My kids have December birthdays – that month is crazy enough and it’s not conducive to outdoor parties.
But to do that every year – if you have multiple kids… that gets pretty pricey pretty darn quick.
I remember parties at Farrell’s. They’d order a “zoo” for the whole party.
The balance we found is that we do “big” parties on the birthdays divisible by 5. We always have a family birthday party separate. Since my oldest is turning 10 this year I better figure out where I’m going to have it.
