How to spend a nearly perfect Father's Day
« Reply #-1 on: June 17, 2013, 09:56:10 AM »
Took my 83 year old Dad out Para Sailing, so he could write it off his bucket list. Next year is planned all ready....we are going to go skydiving. He was even OK with a tandem jump!



He had that grin on his face all day LONG! He even got the Tshirt! After the para, my Sister, Brother and their families got together at our condo for a grilled burgers and dogs. It was a great Father's Day; shared with one of the greatest men I know!!!!

It was all fun and games, until Capt. Mitch did a splash and dash....dropping my Daughter in the lake up to her waist! My Brother had the rest of the family on his pontoon chasing and watching. When it was my Wife and Sons turn....he dropped them down right beside the pontoon. My oldest got her dunk close enough the pontoon...they offered to throw her a beer. There was a hot guy on a bass bought under her as she was coming down....he held out his arms like he was gonna catch her..... she said she was kinda hoping Capt. Mitch was that good!!!
