Answer 1

parachute jumping

Answer 2

your ideas sound great but will not suit both kids. if you have a big enough garden you could think about a bouncy castle, face painter, music and food. it will work out cheaper and be loads of fun..

Answer 8

My 4-yr-old grandson just had his birthday party at the local fire station!  They had a room for him to have it, and the firemen were there to talk to the kids...and they let the kids climb all over the fire engines & paramedic ambulance.  My daughter got a "cupcake cake" (cupcakes pushed together, and frosted as a cake on top) shaped like a fire engine from Kroger's.  She had plastic fire hats for favors, and they did a pinata on the front lawn of the fire station.....

8 is tougher, because things can be too "babyish" for her.  I think IHOP has a Dr. Seuss menu now, and maybe they have parties there...
