I don't want to be negative here but I think seeing your Therapist with your parents outside of his office becomes too much like "meet my parents" on a date. I don't think this is really a good idea because it might fuel the fire you've already admitted is burning brightly.
It is so difficult to have such an important person in our life that we don't share with the rest of our family. (Not that, right now, I want to or would.) But I think you run the risk of compromising the theraputic relationship by meeting casually.
I agree with Fallsfall that sharing a session might be appropriate because it has value for your therapy.
Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear. Just my 2 cents...
