**HELP!!! NEED IDEA'S FOR A 3 YR. OLD BDAY SPOT IN JANUARY!!!** Hi everyone, This is my first time on this site so I am really hoping I can find some great answers and ideas. My son's birthday is January 9th, he will be 3 years old- We were unable to really celebrate his 1st or 2nd birthday once because of finances and the other because we were actually moving on and through his birthday. This year I would really like do something fun for him but I am at a stump becuase his bday is in winter- also, we are not financially able to afford something very costly or that would require distant traveling. Does anyone have any suggestion about where to have a bday party of day for a energetic 3 yr. old boy in NorthWest Indiana. All opinions would be greatly appreciated!!!
