My husband ‘fished’ for my daughter’s pole. He gave it to her for her birthday and she was more upset at losing a gift her dad gave her. So he put a large hook on a heavy sinker and drug the lake where she was sitting and finally fished the pole out. He was a hero too. Dad’s are awesome.
You’ve got to love the Dads. It’s memories like that (fishing for fishing poles, going fishing, etc) that mean more than buying kids expensive presents. I remember the things my dad did with me, or the things my dad MADE for me (dollhouse) but don’t remember the gifts my dad bought me.
I think every dad needs to take their kid fishing this weekend, or for a round of mini golf, or bowling. Even though its “Father’s Day” do something your KID wants to do. Let them make the rules. Dad, you will be the HERO! I can assure you it will be the best Father’s Day ever, and one your kids will never forget.
