Beck Posey blows out his candles to the supporting cheers of his party guests. In southern California as elsewhere, there is increasing peer pressure to have the biggest and best birthday party-renting not just one bounce house, but hiring a whole gym full of them; limosines, spa parties for little girls, the expectations rise a little higher each year...and because of this, and the economical stress it can cause,many parents have gone back to basics with old-school fun. Which is priceless.
