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!

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).

My father really loves outdoor clothes so he would like Cabela’s Men’s Rainy River® Parka with GORE-TEX® PacLite® – Regular.
I love the headlamp!
I would get my dad a new canner/accessories, and some jerky making supplies. He has found his inner Bobby Flay thanks to a garden grown because he has an unhealthy heart. We hope veges make it strong again. Happy Birthday to your dad. Who looks great, super, like he has lived clean all his life. Such a nice smile. Thanks for a great post and great giveaway.

cabelas camo compound bow, he loves hunting!
I’d probably have to go with this: Cabela’s Premium Signature 50 Safe. Because I know he has had his eye on a gun safe for a long time!
I’d get the rod and reel combo. We have a pond with fish near our house so I’d love to see my husband get out there with my son
HE LOOKS WONDERFUL, YOUNG AND HANDSOME. I COULD GOBBLE HIM UP! (will that do the trick?, lol) I haven’t even entered yet but I had to tell you how blessed you are. That picture is special. I still have those special people in my life as well, and am thankful every day. Happy Birthday to your dad and I hope he has a blessed day. Seriously, he looks amazing. Is he sure of his birthdate? 🙂

I’d like to get him a pressure washer! What a great price!
I would get him some boating gear, and shoes. He always needs shoes for the outdoors.
I would love to buy the Cabela’s Credence Camo Compound-Bow Package Powered by BOWTECH for my son-in-law, who loves to hunt!
Old Town Guide 147 green canoe. My husband has been wanting a small boat to fish off. This would be perfect.
The beautiful cozy sleeping bag would be great. Thanks.
My father is an avid fisherman and sportsman so I would like to get him the Shimano® Symetre/Cabela’s Fish Eagle® 50 Spinning Combo. This could replace one of his old rod.
I’d like to get the Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer because he has been talking about wanting one to clean the siding on his house and his deck.
I would love to get my hubby the Lowrance® Elite-5 CHIRP Sonar/GPS Combo. He would love this and I would love it when he brings home more fish.
I would love to buy a Rainy River Parka with GoreTex for my husband because he does not have s lighter weigh jacket.
I would love to give my husband the NEW! Eagle’s Camp Family Voyager 8-Person Tent! Our tent ripped two years ago in a really bad storm and we haven’t camped since then because of our tent.
I think my husband would love the 8-person tent. We have a small tent that is past its prime and we haven’t been camping in a while because of it. Happy birthday to your dad!
My husband would probably really like to have a new pair of waders. He likes to fish in the river near our house when the salmon and steelhead are running.
Eagle’s Camp Family Voyager 8-Person Tent is what I would get him. We all got our love of camping from him and our current tent is old and a little too small for all of us to fit in comfortably.
