Tanner was invited to go with his friend Eli on a weekend camping trip. We've met Eli about three times for a total of about three minutes. He and Tanner are on the same basketball team, and he seems really nice. I've never met his mom. I don't even know Eli's last name.
If you would have told me 10 years ago, heck even six months ago, that I would have let one of my kids go out of town with us being so in the dark, I wouldn't have believed it. But such is life and such is parenting.
Let me just say this, parenting teens isn't for the faint of heart.
I did insist, much to Tanner's dismay/annoyance, that I speak with his mom before we gave the okay. She seemed really nice and then I met Eli's grandma the night I dropped Tanner off at her house.
He was gone for three days and seemed to have a great time. I was glad both Naomi and Yolanda sent me a few pictures.
