Party!

I am so excited about Asher's Birthday Party!!! We live in a small town now, and on a Military Base. I have been stressing out about many things including Asher's 5th Birthday Party! Where do we have it, who to invite,blah blah blah. Since we live on base, if we decided to have the party at our house.... we would have to go to the main gate and sign people in. I AM NOT leaving my sons party to sign someone in! So having it at our house is OUT!!! Places that host kids parties are limited in this area, so they are pricey and for 10 kids, if you go over 10 then they charge an average of $10-$15 a kid! Most places were about $150 and up for 10. Then we have to think about food and such. So that's out!

My husband said "let's have it at a park and have a pinata and pizza". He was nice and calm about this like that was the answer to my problems. What if it rains?! The parks around here aren't that great. So, I go on line..... I see a picture of a really cool park in a near by town. The name of this park is not listed. The exact location of this park is not listed. So at the fear of sounding like an idiot I call the parks and recreation #. I tell them I am looking to book a park I saw on there website, but don't know the name of it. The guy said "Is it a big wooden one?" YES!!! He tells me the name and connects me to who I need to talk to to book it!!! $25 for the Big Pavillion for 2 hours on the day I want!!!! Now we can invite ALL the people we want to and don't have to leave anyone off because of price!!!

I make things too complicated most of the time. Thank you honey for such a great idea! Although I found the AMAZING park! Now we can decorate the pavillion and order lots of pizza, have great party favors, and a home made cake for cheaper. Plus everyone will be there and have a blast!!! I am so excited!!! Off to find party favors and a pinata!!!!
