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!

Well, it wouldn’t be for a dad or other guy, but for me – the fishing waders, for fossil hunting. 🙂
maddox leather recliner for my dad he would love this for sure sitting in comfort
I would get me husband these: Cabela’s Men’s Ultralight Fishing Stockingfoot Waders with 4MOST DRY-PLUS™ – Stout. We geocache a lot and sometimes finding a geocache requires wading through streams or swampy land, these would keep him dry.
I would love to gift my hubby the Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer for Father’s Day – I think he would find a lot of projects around the house to use it on!
I would get the hubs the Cabela’s Tailgating Combo for one of his favorite pastimes and my Dad the Garmin Nuvi 42 GPS because sometimes he is directionally challenged.
Cabela’s DepthMaster® III Trolling Reels because he loves to fish!
I would want to get him the sport dog in ground fence… lots of dogs and land very much want them safe not chasing after those ravens that tease them- or the other more dangerous wildlife.
The Lowrance® Elite-5 CHIRP Sonar/GPS Combo. You never know when a GPS may be invaluable while camping or hiking. And if you like fishing or boating, who wouldn’t find a sonar unit helpful? This would be a great gift to give to Dad.
I would love to get the Luminox Men’s 25th Anniversary Watch and SOG® Knife Set for my husband.
Cabela’s Men’s Ultralight Fishing Stockingfoot Waders with 4MOST DRY-PLUS™ – Stout.He is such a fisher.. I believe he will have a pole in his hand every chance he gets. These would be perfect for when he fishes off shore!
Oh, I know already what I’d get! The GunVault Biometric Safe would make him a great gift because we’ve talked about getting one for a while!
Happy 80th Birthday to your Dad! He definitely looks no where near 80!! I hope he had a wonderful day and he sounds like a great father!!
Happy Birthday to your dad!
Barnett Recruit Compound Crossbow Package because he’s been wanting one for years. I’d love to surprise my husband with that for Father’s Day.
I would like to get my husband the Cabela’s Preservac Basic Vacuum Sealer so he can package large quantities of meat for the freezer.
I would love to buy my husband (who is a Dad!) the Eagle’s Camp Family Voyager 8-Person Tent because he loves to camp out.
My son-in-law is a wonderful father and husband to my daughter. He’s an avid camper and I would love to get him the Coleman® Classic 54-Qt. Steel Cooler – Red Steel. I love that it keeps things cold for so long, perfect for a family camping trip!
I’d get my husband a pair of Justin Men’s Work Tek Sabre Work Boots for work. He’s in construction and goes through a couple pairs a year. These are very nice quality.
I think these would last him a lot, longer time, than what he wears now.
I would pick the Cabela’s Premium Gun safe. To keep the guns safe ! Oh your Dad looks GREAT for his age !!
I’d get the 8-person tent for my hubby because he’s been wanting to do more camping as a family. And for my own dad I’d get the tactical sight.
I would love to get him the Cabela’s Tailgating Combo, he loves to grill, and is known as the grill master. He would love this combo pack for our next cookout, impressive package that will impress his guests for sure. Nice variety he would love.
