I live on a dead end street with forest park across, very quiet. For when my boys were preteens, we celebrated their birthdays together and one year we had the typical party with probably 30 kids, I blew up bunches of balloons and made them about a hundred icely sharpened spears out of branches from the forest to throw at balloons to see who can pop the most. My wife thought that was a bad dangerous idea that other parents wouldn't like but it was the most fun part of the event that night for kids. Everyone chucking spears,girls, boys, little hunters came out in them all. Nobody got hurt, except the bballoons. Fun!!!
