Big Night Out!

Hey everyone. This is Kerri from The Naptime Blog. I am guest posting here on Screamin John because I was the only one who took pictures of The Big Night Out. What was The Big Night Out? Well, as many of your know, SOMEONE had a birthday. I am not going to say who or how old that person was, but because there was a birthday there had to be a party. Now, this someone planned and hosted this whole event, so the least I could do is take pictures and blog about it.

The evening started around 6pm. We met at our host's house for a pre-Big Night Out drink and snacks:

And here were our lovely hosts! Great dress!

Now, I shipped my kids off to Grandma and Papa's for the evening. But everyone else's kids also gathered until their respectively babysitters were available. It was loud. Here are Brandon and George:

If you are new to this blog, try to guess which one is Brandon and which one is George! A quick snap of John. Again, note to self, next time we gather for a pre-Big Night Out cocktail, do it at the house with the fewest kids!

After we gathered, the adults loaded up into The Swaggerwagon for our trip to Greenville.

The activity that brought this evening to Big Night Out, instead of just a Night Out was the dance lessons. Again, this was the idea of our host and most of us were really excited about trying it. I got a few pictures of the dance lessons before I was reminded that they will sell us pictures of our evening as well.

We learned the rumba and salsa dancing. At this time I can't remember how to do either dance, but I do remember the lessons were fun!

After the dancing, we literally walked through a breezway to The Melting Pot, where again, our hosts had planned everything. We enjoyed A Night In France which was delicious!

Our host were extremely sneaky. Becky called earlier that afternoon about doing an extra birthday thing and found out that the whole dinner was already paid for. No arguing about the bill! Juilet knows I hate that, ;) but we did get her some chocolate strawberries...

Just thought this was a funny picture of Brandon:

After dinner, we got back into the swaggerwagon to go home. It was a great time and we look forward to our next round of birthdays in May.

Thanks, guest blogger Kerri! Great work.
It was the best birthday celebration I've had in a long, long time. Or at least since getting to go out with both my sisters and my parents the week before!
