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!

Luckily, Cabela’s is here to help me figure out what to get my dad for his 80th birthday, for his 56th Father’s Day and even find a Father’s Day gift for my hard working husband!
While I had no clue what to get Walt or my father, within 5 minutes of going to shop Cabela’s Father’s Day Sale and guide, I found quite few things with saving up to 50%! I discovered four things that I know my dad and Walt would love. A large safe always comes in handy (Sale $2149) and my dad would also love the pressure washer ($139). Walt has always wanted to replace our moldy tent ($119) and I know he would appreciate Cabela’s Men’s Rainy River® Parka with GORE-TEX® PacLite® in Tall Sizes ($139). TaDa! DONE!

I’m sure that he would love something more exciting, like guns, shells, or hunting gear. But, I’m getting him the Outdoor Research Men’s WindStopper® Gorilla Clava. He can use it when fishing or hunting, on windy and cold days. Thanks for the giveaway.
Great giveaway. My family loves Cabela’s. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would like to get my boyfriend the GoPro® Hero4 Black Action Camera because I think he would enjoy using it while jet skiing. 😉
My husband loves to take the kids camping. They will camp anywhere, even in the backyard !!! I would choose a large tent for him.
Sure would like to Win that Generator for when the Power go’s out this winter,It can get pretty ruff here in the Atlantic Canadian Winter’s.
my dear husband is big fan of camping,so i would probably get him a tent for camping.
I’d love to get him a Rod & Reel Combo, he loves fishing and I can’t recall the last time he had a new rod and reel.
Great sweep.
My two sons would have fun picking out fishing equipment. I wouldn’t even begin to guess what they would want, since they have a bunch of stuff already.
I would get him the Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite Window Smoker. He loves to grill and has been wanting a smoker. I know he would love this.
A nice big tent for my husband for his Father’s Day!
