My dad told me:
"Son, a lot of guys think that the way to live the good life and be surrounded by beautiful women is to make lots of money and buy a fancy sports car. In reality, the real way to be surrounded by beautiful women is to have daughters."
Well, the ol' man was right. It's exceptionally hard to get Dani to go out with me now (babysitters are a rare commodity), but even suggesting a daddy-daughter date is enough to get N, V, or Y jumping up and down with excitement.
Daddy-daughter dates aren't like regular dates, though. Normally, you're trying to get to know the person through understanding their tastes and preferences, often through conversation and activities. In daddy daughter dates, you become the Sherpa-style guide to your adventurous explorers. Kids don't have enough life experience to know their tastes and preferences like adults do, so they find it out by exploring.
I think next daddy-daughter date I go on will be taking N on a hike up the mountains.
What date ideas do you think would help kids explore the world around them?
