That is really cool B2Y.

For a few years we ran a kids night out at our old gym. We had basketball, racquetball and an indoor pool. We used a racquetball court as a disco room. A fun safe place for kids every Saturday night.

One year we had New Years Eve party for the kids. We all had a blast.

One thing we didn't think about was drunk parents picking them up.
We spent hours driving kids home.

when my older boys were young I used to have kids new years sleepover
parties.......we would do crafts , make lots of appetizers(kids love those),
and toast all night with sparkling cider. I swear I would get buzzed off]
of the bubbles but I guess that cant be

Now my health is not as good and I am as old as dirt. My younger ones
would love to do this as they have heard about it from their older bros.
I have now promised that I will do my best to do this next year.

My bff since high school and her daughter are coming over and we will
be making homemade pizzas(the kids can make their own.) they love
making the dough and "playing" with it. they will probably sleep over.
so that will be fun for the little ones. My older ones will do first night
downtown. they drop a ball and its all crazy. I worry about them on
the streets but they really enjoy this(and they are 19 and 17 so.....)

I hope everyone has the kind of eve that is just perfect for them!!
