Ideas regarding a half-year birthday party?

My son turned 8 right before Christmas. He's always complaining that we don't get to have a big outdoor party for him like we can for his sister (sept). We've done the deal about having it at an "everything done for you" party place with him, but it's so expensive and so impersonal and assembly-line-ish. So this year, we went out to dinner, just the family, and told him we will have a half-year kid party in June in the backyard. Possibly have a reptile guy come....he's really into that. Has anyone done the half-year celebration deal? Was it successful? Any clever ideas for a half-year party? Did people think you were freaky for doing it? Thanks!

    I don't know about that half year thing but a lot of my friends that have birthdays in the winter hate it. I threw a big summer bash for one of them. Hawaiian theme, had everyone come dressed for the beach, etc. It was a nice break for all of us from the cold. Maybe find an indoor water park or something.

    SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO ME. DID THE SAME FOR MY DAUGHTER WHOSE BD IS IN THE WINTER AND THE ROADS ARE USUALLY BAD. DIDN'T MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF THE HALF YEAR PART, JUST SAID IT WAS A BIRTHDAY AND TREATED IT LIKE THAT.
