My Dad turns 80 today!
Cabela’s is celebrating ALL the Dads!
This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic
My Wonderful Father is 80 today!
No, that must be wrong! This is a man who wears no glasses, can lift his own weight, and only takes one pill a day! Doesn’t he look more like a 65 year old? (Please say yes, because that would make me 38 and I am all over that number!)
Let me just brag about my wonderful father for a minute. With it being his birthday and so close to Father’s day, I feel like I am allowed to go on and on a bit. Dad was an excavator his whole life with his own business. He worked so hard each day, laying pipe and managing a crew of men. As we are from Michigan, he worked in the hot hot heat and the dead winter cold.
Not only was he a great provider for our family even during hard times, he always had time to play with us and work with us. He and I spent three years down at our barn building soap box derbies and another few months finishing and painting my first big-girl car. We always went snowmobiling and sledding in the winter and spent time shooting in our backyard (an open area) in the summer. My dad would often take my brother and go with his brother and father to the local gun club to shoot skeet. Sometimes, even I would get to go along.

What do you get the “Perfect Father” for his birthday or Father’s day?
Do you struggle with what to get your father or husband for Father’s Day? Do they not need very much? Or want very much? Or have everything? Or can afford to buy whatever they want, leaving you with nothing to buy? I can see a lot of you nodding your head here! I mean this is what my husband Walt likes to spend his time doing (he won’t admit it though):
Walt cutting the concrete sidewalk before he levels the entire slab. Quite an engineering feat!

I would get my dad the Camp-Chef-Pro-90-Deluxe-Three-Burner-Outdoor-Cooker, because he’s more into “glamping” than hardcore camping
Hard to choose but it would be nice to lavish Dad with whatever he might want.
Your dad looks great for 80…he does only look about 65! I would love to get my husband some of the NEW! Dakota Grizzly™ Men’s Tioga Hoodie. He was looking for something like it at the end of the season this last winter but never found anything like it. Cabela’s has just what he wanted. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Hey Trish, I will tell him you said that. He will love that. The Chief Blonde
I would get him anything that has to do with BBQ and Smokers since he thinks he is the one and only BBQ King! it’s cute.
This is a great giveaway. Thank you! I would purchase the torch lantern mosquito repellents 4 of them to be exact, the barricade xd target, and as many boxes of ammo I can with the leftovers. 🙂
your father is a lucky man to look and feel 65 while being 80 years old.
and as for you looking and feeling 38 works, also.
i have had great shopping experiences at Cabela stores.
Awesome giveaway! Thank you.
I would get my Dad the Streamlight® Ultra-Compact ProTac HL Flashlight – it has dozens of uses!
My husn=band and all of us would love the Eagle’s Camp Family Voyager 8-Person Tent. We are outsiders and love camping!
I would love to get him the Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite Window Smoker. He loves smoked fish and this would be perfect!
My dad would love a new fancy grill because he’s always grilling and has always grilled all my life. He doesn’t have a good sturdy one so I’d love to be able to give him one 🙂
I WILL BUY HIM A Champion 3500 Watt Generator Weekender Package!
I would love to give this to my most deserving father because he loves to BBQ and needs a smoker because right now he uses a 10+ year old webber grill. So the Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite Window Smoker 30″ is what I would choose to give him.
I’d get him some hiking shoes because we live in the mountains now!
