We had a nice afternoon yesterday with DD's first boyfriend. They met at the kids' summer program, and he's a nice guy, just a few months older than she is. I like his parents as well.
Anyway, they've wanted to get together since the summer ended, so DD, DS, and I met him and his family at a nearby theater to see "Despicable Me," then decided to go for a hike down to the Mississippi River at a nearby park. We had a nice afternoon, and I enjoyed getting to know his parents better (his dad is a bit of a geek, like me, so his wife laughed and said at least he had someone with whom to have those geeky conversations). The kids ran ahead, climbed everything, and played in the sand on the beach by the river. We stopped for DQ at the end and said our goodbyes as evening fell.
On the way home, we set up DD's MP3 player to play in the car and the kids took turns picking the songs. At one point we were all 3 singing a the top of our lungs to Taylor Swift and having fun. It was a wonderful bonding afternoon, and made me think that it's beautiful to know that through all the tough times, it is these memories that tie us together as a family, regardless of bloodlines.
