K.C.
My son just turned one. Many people told me a park or my house would be perfect...the first birthday is more for you then it is for them. His birthday was July 12, and it was way too hot for my house & the park, so we went to the Chuck e Cheese. It was fun, although he got scared of Chuck E lol. I did it there so I wouldn't have to do cleanup & planning as well :) He had, though, the Backyardigans theme on his cake & birthday shirt. (he loves that show). good luck & have fun with it!
