They have there here too. Skating parties were all the rage when I was a kid. I celebrated at least three of mine there. I too miss just simple cake and ice cream parties. Now I hear fellow moms talking about gifts for the guests and grab bags?? What is that about?

Its gone now and my baby never got to have a party there, but I've heard of a pump it up somewhere around here but have never been there as my baby is now too big:(<br />I like any place though where the kids have so much fun that they are too pooped to do anything but sleep when they come home!MaBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729495477063071692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-11660465827674594562009-07-19T10:30:18.132-05:002009-07-19T10:30:18.132-05:00Pump it up or Chuck E Cheese?

But I think it's more appropriate for older kids.<br /><br />I still think that family or family and a few friends birthday party at home is the best for a young child.
