5th Birthday...ideas needed

[Gr8fuldead69]

I'm planning on doing a surprise birthday party for River and Willow's b-day next month but I'm at a loss for where to do it.

Their 3rd b-day was at Chuck E Cheese. I had a Barbie theme for my Willow and a construction theme for River

Their 4th b-day was at a local park. The theme was "Candy Land"; I had make your own ice cream sundaes, a pinata, pin the tail on the donkey, etc.

There will probably only be 7 kids total including R&W but my place is way to small to accommodate that many kids and parents without pulling my hair out. I don't really want to do the same old same old (Monkey Joe's, Paint our Pot, Bounce U, etc). I'm looking for something fresh and different.

It's tough planning parties when you have a boy and a girl. If they were both the same sex I think it would be much easier.

Any ideas? PLEASE <insert begging here> lol.

How about a bowling party? Mine are turning 6 and want a bowling party (5 pin of course!)
Water park? Do you have a splash park or a pool close by?
Don't know if they would be interested, but what about a Mario Party?
Mine Love Mario party on the WII and LOVE anything to do with Mario??
I have my girls also doing the bowling/Hannah Montanna theme (UGHHHHH.....NOT the best of both worlds again!)

What do they really both like???????

Wow you have a lot of great ideas, thank you! R&W are taking inline skating classes so I think I might just do it at a skate rink in the area since it's something they both like. I might start splitting parties next year so I can do something different like a party at the lego store for River and a spa party for Willow. Since I'm doing a surprise party this year seperating them won't really work.

Thanks again for the fun ideas
