I'm home from a pretty good impromptu date. 😃
I heard from Shadow's half-siblings that they were going to be in town so we set up a surprise meeting at Oxford Lake. That was a big deal because he'd never met them before. He and the kids seemed to have fun. Me and Shaun brought pizza so we all had a little picnic. Even shared with a few domineering ducks who just kept creeping closer and closer.
Then the kids played together while the rest of us talked at the table. It was nice getting to know and talk in person to Berry. We've talked on social media and the phone, but it's just not the same. At one point we even got serenaded by an old hippie dude with a guitar. 😃 And some little boy took his pants all the way down in the sprinkler fountain thing. Haha. Kids are funny.
Since the weather was nice I brought Teyla and she was SO GOOD. I tried to keep her mostly out of plain sight, but some kids saw her on my lap under the table and wanted to touch her. They were gentle and she just let them. That was pretty cool. I love doing things, but anywhere I can have an ani-pal with me is immediately 1000% more better. 😃
Pooh came to visit before the day was over and he showed Shadow about making beats on his laptop. Shadow has been recording things on his DS and laptop for a while, but he doesn't have a machine like that. Maybe for his birthday or Christmas I can get him something similar. I'm sure he'd love that.
All in all, it was a fun day. Hot, but fun. ❤ Time to relax and cool off now. 😃
