[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We are a one car family.

Alright, maybe the answer is renting a second car. I hadn't thought about that. Thanks[/quote]

If the aunt is willing to help out, why can't she just pick one parent and the birthday child up from the recital early and drive them there?[/quote]
Birthday venue is very close to Aunt's house.  Recital venue is 30 minutes away.  It just adds an hour driving for her before the party.  I wouldn't ask unless it really changed the equation and helped the situation.  I'm probably already going to be offering to send her and my bro off for date night....  [/quote]

So, the day of the event, you all drive to aunt's house.  Split into two cars with one parent and 8yo in aunt's car and the other parent and younger son in your car.  You drive two cars to the dance recital.  At 4:10, one parent and 8yo get back into aunt's car, and drive back to her house, then three of you go to the birthday venue.  Arrive around 4:40, greet guests, be there to actually host, convey to the guests what they are supposed to do, who they are supposed to see if they need waivers signed, find out where to put gifts, coordinate food, whatever.  Aunt can stay as long as she likes and drives her car home.  After the recital is over, remaining parent congratulates younger on on job well done and they get in the OP's car and drive to the birthday party venue arriving 5:10 or 5:15.  All have a good time at birthday and can drive home together as a family.
