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 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).

A couple rod/reels for my dad. His love of fishing has returned and we want him to have the best gear when he goes out.
I wish I had my dad to wish a very “Happy Father’s Day”
I would get the Abu Garcia® Ambassadeur S/Cabela’s Pro® Guide Salmon/Steelhead Casting Combo for my dad since he loves to fish.
I would spruce up his wardrobe. With some new jackets, 7 pocket shorts, pants, and maybe some new hiker boots and or sandals.
I would get that Masterbuilt smoker because he as been wanting a smoker and I love smoked meat!
I would love to get the Pawleys Island Cotton Rope Deluxe Hammock for my husband. He is a great father and would love to relax outside in the shade in this.
I would love to get my husband the compound bow package as he loves to go hunting
I would want to get the Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite Window Smoker, personally, as it would be a new way to cook amazing food! 😀
I’d like to get my hubby their “GoPro® Hero4 Silver Action Camera” as his camera needs to be duct taped shut! He’s dropped it one too many times.
I’d save it till fall and get him a replacement Cabela’s winter coat, since his current one is worn out.
I’d get Cabela’s Ridge Performance Shorts
I would get my husband the Remington® 700™ ADL Bolt-Action Rifle because he enjoys shooting and collects guns.
I’d give him a GoPro Hero4, so he can film his hikes and fishing trips 🙂
My husband has mentioned that he would like a fire pit for our back yard. This one would be perfect since we live in Indianapolis and the Colts are our football team.
Champion 3500 Watt Generator Weekender Package. Because my dad could take this camping and never run out of power, he would use this everytime he went!
I would love to get him the tent and canoe so he can do his outdoor stuff.
My Father is a hunter, so probably something he can use while bow hunting.
winning would invigorate me
Oh my gosh ~ too many great choices. We could use a new generator, so the 3500 Watt generator would be perfect, OR a trail camera by Cabella’s Outfitter.
A new rod and reel
