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 love to get a GoPro® Hero+ Action Camera. My rubby would be trilled…….Thanks for the opportunity!
I would buy my husband the Cabela’s Men’s 2nd Amendment Short-Sleeve Tee Shirt. It completely fits who he is and I would also get him the Realtree X-Hybrid Trail Shoes because he needs a new pair.
I wish my dad was still around to get something for and my husband is more geeky tech guy than the outdoor type so I never know what to get him.
Cabela’s West Wind 6 man Domed tent. We use to camp all the time when I was younger. Dad even built us a por-ta-potty by stacking bricks in a square form, putting a life saving ring over a coffee can because we never could get the “squat behind a tree thing” down. The tent we had then was horrible and took forever to set up. This one is a snap to set up. my dad will be 78 July 2 and still likes to go with our famailies
My Dad would probably like the Yutrax Trail Warrior ATV Trailer. He doesn’t have an ATV but he’d use it for towing lawn equipment around like mowers etc.
A GoPro! My dad would love one.
