Younger duaghter had a budget of $150 for her celebration. That is the going rate for celebrations at our house (and if you're under budget, you get the difference).
Admission for 6 swimmers and 1 spectator to the indoor water park for 6 hours: $130
Little Ceasar's Family Party Park before leaving: $16.00
Carry out at Panda Express (orange chicken) after returning: $14.50
I didn't factor my admission ($10.00). Also the Little Cesar's was dinner for the rest of the family that didn't go with us. I've been stockpiling snacks as they were on sale and I had coupons. I supplemented the orange chicken from Panda Express with my own white rice and two boxes of frozen egg rolls which came from the grocery budget. All in all, it was a grand time, and in leiu of gifts my daughter asked for donations she'll make to the Humane Society. She raised $45, plus her best friends also went in on a gift card to her favorite clothing store ($15).
It was a nice weekend, but busy. The School Fun Fair was Saturday (spent $30 for tickets for the boys which came from the Entertainment Category), and we contributed three cakes to the Cake Walk (from the grocery category). Also had two basketball games and a pizza party.
Hope everyone is off to a good start of the week!
Birthday Budget: Over by $10.50
