This year for his 14th birthday he wants to go to a skateboard park for a couple hours then out to dinner. I usually let my dks invite only one of two friends for any of these activities to save on cost.
I wish that we had a science center closer to us. That would be a great idea.

The hard part is that most parents aren't willing to drive their kids very far to attend a party and we don't have all that much available to us right around here--and I don't have a way to transport more than a couple of kids.

Boys...they're so hard to figure out at this age! lol!!
