Kids Partys

I have noticed recently, how parents go over the top when giving their little darlings a birthday party, when I was a kid you were lucky if you got jelly and ice cream and a pass the parcel game.

Many parents though now seem to take the (probably wise) decision to get lots of squabbling kids well away from their own house by booking parties at leisure centres, swimming pools, trampoline centres, activity centres, karting tracks, etc. That seems to make sense to me!

With our younger family members we always play it by ear, some years it has been a houseful with the usual sandwiches, cake and game - other years an outing for a few friends to bowling, pony riding or indoor skiing.

Local swimming pool, big cake, sack of crisps, lifeguards, and space for 150 swimmers. Cheapest and simplest birthday parties I ever threw, and the ones the little darlings most enjoyed. By miles. And, I might add, the ones which most thoroughly wore them out, to the point where they had no energy left to argue with anyone, or fight. Their friends even now remind me what superb parties those were. Who wants expensive ? I'd prefer fun , and memorable, any day.
My youngest grandson was invited to a party. He had to be delivered to the local woods where all the kids met. Parents were encouraged to stay. Grandson said it was the best party he had ever been at - treasure hunt, finding cones, leaves etc. and building dens. All that was supplied was drinks and a few sandwiches. Kids are still easily pleased with a little imagination.
