Best thing for Ariv's Birthday

What do we do for Ariv's 1st Bday is my biggest concern nowadays.
I want to keep it simple and fun for my lil baby as well as celebrate it with couple friends,
to show off my handsome young boy to the world.
And why not, he is really a charming and a handsome dude with a cute personality and I am
really proud that he is my. Don't you show off your prized possessions....well, I do :)

And in these times, when world is mourning over M J's death or is worried about economic
meltdown or maybe something smaller..Covisint worried if GMAC will
renew its contract for 5 point something million (well I should be concerned about this one , as this is where my paycheck comes from) or more personal : Ariv's Dad worried about when and where should he do his MBA frm and how much would it cost him
....But naaaah, I am stressed out to the limit about the Bday plans of my adorable son. So
lets check out my options:

1. Grand Party... well we spend a fortune on a celebration when we were in India...Around 6-7
K DOLLARS ..and Ariv slept throughout....yes throughout...he woke up when we sat in the car to go home.
Lesson Learned : Kids that age don't have that much attention span. Keep it short and sweet.

2. A trip to Disney land : I believe he is too little for most of the rides. As of now, I am
still waiting for him to walk so not sure . But may be a little delayed trip, like in December..he will be 18 months then... lets keep our options open.

3. A trip to some water park...well, I would love to do this myself..forget Ariv..i am sure,
he will love it too ...:)

4. Some people said zoo.... he probably doesn't even understand the difference between animals
and humans....well, if we think as an outing and a picnic..then maybe..

so we still are not in consensus between me and Manish....lets see what we decide ...
