Title: Happy Fathers Day!
Post by: Lotsokids on June 15, 2014, 11:08:32 AM
As a father of 6 (thus the screen name), I wish the other fathers out there a great day.
Right now my wife is preparing my favorite meal - lasagna! :good2:

Happy Father's Day to all! Just heading out for breakfast with my parents, sister, my wife and my son.
Probably follow that with a motorcycle ride with my wife and son. A great way to spend Father's Day!

Happy Fathers day to all the Fathers out there. :good2:

My day will start with babysitting the granddaughter , followed with breakfast with my oldest daughter.

lunch with my youngest , followed with bbq dinner with my middle child .

Of course they all get to ride with me on the fj today as is tradition, except granddaughter as she counter-leans still at 10 months old.

when I ask my kids what they want for their birthday, the common gift is a day with dad on his fj rolling thru the hills .

life is good.

Spent the day with my 90 year old Dad, my wife, my 16 year old son and my 25 year old step son. I have two other girls who couldnt make the 2 hour trip with us...but I wish they had. life sure goes by fast. My mom passed away this year and my dad really misses her...so do I. It was a really nice day one I will allways remember, life is precious and goes by way to fast.           Happy fathers day to everyone....                                                                                                                                wear a helmet,your family needs you!                                                                                                                               Charley

Took a rare day off from the shop as my sons took me to the SF Giants baseball game. Good time, a bbq before entering, good seats (but we did not get any homerun balls) and great weather.

Had my dad over to the house last night as well as my nephew who lost his father a few weeks ago.

I hope all of the dads had a great fathers day.

I spent the day with my wonderful wife, and two boys.....................I wouldn't have it any other way. :good:
Since we moved up to Colorado 3 years ago, our Father's Day tradition has been to pile in the Jeep and head for the mountains for a picnic.................
So that's exactly what we did today...........

Started out driving up I-70 to Georgetown, and quickly made our way thru town to start heading up Guanella Pass..........

The views of this gorgeous Colorado mountain scenery were amazing!

We found a nice spot for our picnic lunch amongst the Aspens, and the Evergreens..................

We also scoped out some future camping spots while we were up there................
It was a nice relaxing day in the mountains :drinks:

Happy Father's Day everyone!

Beautiful day. Start out with a breakfast of eggs, blueberry pancakes and scrapple.  Ended up with a dinner of babyback ribs.  In between, I went for a ride with my oldest daughter.
