Re: What did you get for Fathers day 2011

My girls got me a new grill. Five burner with an infrared. Sat by my dad and mom at church this morning, then they came over for dinner this evening (grilled chops, sweet taters, and grilled zucchini and yellow squash). They just left. Our stomachs and hearts are full. Happy Dad's Day everyone, and a special congratulations to Cobia. That's outstanding.

I got an exemption.

Fingers crossed this bachelor run keeps going for a few more years (or the rest of my life)

Was blessed and honored to see daughter #1 graduate after fulfilling twelve years of school and training to become a ER Doctor. Very nice cards and calls from daughter #2 and a new fish finder, card and letter from my wife. Great food, laughs, and a bit of antacid......was a fathers day to remember.:)

Re: What did you get for Fathers day 2011

I am having a teriffic Fathers day (week). It all started last Friday when me my wife and two kids went to the marina and picked out our first boat. It's a 1987? Celebrity Champion Bowrider. It will be ready for us to pick up this Thursday (hence the Fathers day week). We are very excited about this. My kids got me some wonderful cards and redeemable coupons (car wash, room clean, kitchen clean etc...) for whenever I want to use them. We had a great time hanging out together yesterday, we went to Walmart and got some fishing poles. Then we went and got some fireworks for the 4th of July. It was great for me just seeing my kids so happy and excited. They kept telling me it was the best day ever which just made me feel that much the better. All in all a great Fathers Day!!!

Fished all morning. Brought home fluke filet. Wife made an excellent meal of fresh fish, spinach and baked potatoe. Daughter (15) made a cake. Son (14) washed my truck without asking. Sat together in the evening and watched a movie.
I got a perfect day!

My son made a wonderful chicken dinner. The best part was not having to dish out the cash to pay for it. He bought it all. Including the ice cream cake. Yum.

Didn't get anything (I dropped the ball on mother's day so my wife conveniently didn't do anything for father's day :p). Took my almost 4 year old on what was supposed to be a short 1.2 mile hike at a nearby county park but due to a gross miscalculation on my part it ended up being almost 3 miles. With not too much complaining my son completed the whole walk. I thought that was pretty good for a little guy. In the afternoon we took a 2.5 hour nap which was fantastic :D

I got two lightweight golf shirts and visors with the boat name embroidered on them exactly as it's on the boat. I got the first one for my birthday in February so now I've got white, red and black... I'm set for the season!

Aday with my side of the family and my kids @ my Dad's, he loves all the kids and then he crashes on the longe and I think that was the best part besides watching them all line up to kiss him before they leave.

I got a very nice and much needed dual speed buffer from my 4 year old, but could only have it if we went to the beach to ride the go-carts and bumper boats! Every day is a good day spent with the kids though!
