In 11 years of summer birthday parties for my son, I've tried it all. I've hosted June swim parties at Angelfish Swimming in Kirkland, and we've gone to a Mariners' game at Safeco Field, complete with birthday wishes on the scoreboard. But in our region, there are also numerous parks, beaches, pools and stadiums
where you can create a memorable experience for your child without
breaking the bank. Here are some ideas that are great for summer.

Eating outdoors with your kids may be among one of the warm season's greatest pleasures. Whether you take a pack of hot dogs to a shelter at the beach or load a backpack full of sandwiches and hit the trail, picnics are a great way to get outside and commune with nature.

In businesses and offices around Seattle, more and more signs are
asking people to supervise their young children -- or leave them at
home.

My wife and I have always traveled light and fast. Inspired by the great travelers of old, we've made suffering a virtue, knowing that the resulting memory is worth every moment of frustration, anxiety and discomfort. We realized we didn't know anything about suffering until we began to travel with our baby son, Ciaran, now 15 months.
