LATE NIGHT

Wes and I went out last night with his whole family- we'll the GROWN-UPS in the family, that is. We left the cousins at grandma's house with two teenage sisters who are family friends, and wonderful to the kids. We had a great night down in Redding- a delicious dinner, watched an awesome live performance by HAPA, and even hung out at a night club til midnight. We thought WE were the party animals- but little did we know- Owen was the last kid standing, and was having a blast having two cute girls all to himself. The kid was happy as could be, not a bit sleepy- just hanging out, eating popcorn like a big boy, chatting with the girls when we arrived at 1 am! 1 AM! We all couldn't help but laugh, he was obviously smitten and sleep was not of any interest to him. We thought the 30 min drive home would knock him out- but nope, he just chatted away. Obviously, this late night had to be documented.
So, here is our little party animal- fifteen minutes before he crashed for the night.

That is so awesome that that grown-ups had a great night out. I guess it was a little treat for Owen to get to stay up so late. What a night, huh?

Yep- it was a special treat for Owen, and the girls watching him were so sweet- they really didn't mind being up so late with a hyper two year old. They geniunely seemed to enjoy hanging out with the little guy. And Owen loved being away from the house for a night, out of the whole "8:30 bedtime routine." Surprisingly, he was up by 9 this morning, had a normal nap and hasn't been very crabby at all. I hope this doesn't mean we have more late night parties with Owen in our near future...

The night was fun, never thought I would party with the 'parents' but we do. I can see Owen joining us in the years to come. I wonder what we started with taking mom out for her B-day, she wanted to party it on after the bar. It is nice to be able to be an adult every now and then.
