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 the Cabela’s Outfitter™ 10MP Color HD Trail Camera for my Dad, he has been wanting one of these for a while now.
Thanks,

My husband would love the cabela’s depthmaster III trolling reel! He sold all his fishing rods/reels before we moved (to help with moving costs) and he has started to look at purchasing some new ones!

I would purchase him a gift card so he could get exactly what he wants
I would love to get the 8 person tent for my husband because he loves to go camping.
I would love to get my hubby the Shimano® Symetre/Cabela’s Fish Eagle® 50 Spinning Combo. He is a huge fisherman and loves the outdoors. We both enjoy shopping at Cabela’s here in St.Louis, Missouri. Thanks for the chance to win.
My father would love the Eagle’s Camp family voyager 8 person tent (cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1947492). Some of our favorite memories from when I was younger were when we went camping together. Throwing a new tent into the mix, he could take all of us kids (now adults) out for another camping trip like when we were younger.
I would love to get my boyfriend the Bradley 6-Rack, 108-Liter Digital Smoker, he has wanted one for years!
The Yeti Hopper cooler would be useful.
Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer
My dad has been wanting a pressure washer, would love to win! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
NEW! Columbia® Men’s Northern Voyage™ 2.0 Jacket for my sweetie.
If money were no object, I’d love to get the Luminox Men’s 25th Anniversary Watch and SOG Knife Set for my spouse. Both the watch and the knife are things he could use, and this is a really nice set.

I would get me fishing equipment as fishing has been something I have not done in a very long time. Its definitely time to get reacquainted with the lakes and outdoor activity
The meat grinder and sausage stuffer so we can make our own sausages.
I would get my husband the “Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer”, because my husband wants a pressure washer to clean up around the outside of the house.
I would love to buy the Eagle’s Camp Family Voyager 8-Person Tent for my husband! We love camping but haven’t gone in a while and we really need a bigger tent!
I think I would just hand over the gift card and tell him to have fun! My hubby is the best father to our children in the whole wide world and he happens to love Cabela’s. He would have a blast.
My dad would probably like the pressure washer or the headlamp.
