I'd go the park (provided the weather isn't going to be too yucky!). I think we'll do something like that. We won't be doing anything big because we don't really have any friends to invite so will just be family, unless a few of my friends from Wagga with kids decide to make the trip. they aren't going to remember the day anyway so I wouldn't go paying for something 'fun' like a playcentre when they aren't going to get much out of it.
My main concern is the weather... Oh and ants *shudder*
aside from that I would go for the park no worries. If it wasn't for my gross housemates I'd just get everyone to come here if it rained. *sigh*
anyone know any other indoor places that are kid friendly? All I can think of is play centres, there's gotta be an alternative...?
I'd go the park too but that's because I'm afraid of indoor play centres!
The only bad thing about the park in July would be the weather, but as long as it's not raining, you should be ok if everyone rugs up. Bring a couple of thermos' so the adults can have a nice hot cuppa. Try and find a park that has a big gazebo you can all hide under if it does rain.
sausage sizzles all the way!!
You could get a heap of snags and buns for less than 30 bucks
get everyone to bring a salad to share...
then your LO can still get spoilt with pressies
It is a first birthday afterall... so much wrapping paper fun to be had!
For my DS1's 1st birthday, i hired the room where we have playgroup. It only cost $40 for a few hours, and I also borrowed some of the bigger toys from the toy room. You could do something like this if you are worried about having it outside due to the weather. Perhaps asking at your local community center how much to hire a room, buy a couple of bags of balloons and have the blown up and scattered around the room. You can still do a 'bring a plate' type thing.
