So, I didn't get to post last week because I was working on stuff for my son's birthday party. My baby boy turned 3 this weekend. He's not a baby anymore.... and he reminds me every day.
I didn't want to have his party at our house since our family is huge and my house isn't. I wanted to try something different this year, something that would be super fun for Russ and all his little friends. So, I picked up the phone and started calling all the fire departments in the area, and I found one that you could rent for parties. The party was actually in the bay with the fire trucks. There was plenty of room to set up tables and chairs, let the kids play with their toy trucks in the floor, and still have all the fire trucks in there with them. The fire fighters were awesome! They gave the kids a tour and told them all about the different parts of the truck. Then, they pulled a truck outside, hooked it up to a hydrant, and shot water across the sky. I think this was the highlight of the day.
Instead of gift bags, we got plastic fireman hats, and I assembled foam fireman badges and wrote each kids name on one.
We kept decorations to a minimum (one of the advantages of a fire department party). My friend and I did make a super-cute banner out of scrapbooking paper and simple shapes.
As far as "entertainment", besides the fire engines, we filled the floor with toy trucks, had fire engine tattoos, and made a coloring sheet with a fire truck with the birthday boy's name on it.
If you have a little boy, I highly recommend a fire department party.
