Celebrating Dads

Thank goodness for Dads! What would we do without them? They’re the ones to say, “Yeah, sure” when Mom says, “NO.” Dads were the ones to teach us how to ride our bikes, pick us up when we came crashing down off of them, and gave us the courage to get back on again.

Father’s Day is this weekend and if there’s one thing you can do for Dad to show him your appreciation, you should do it! We’ve got some ideas for you:

Dads usually aren’t very fussy about gifts. They don’t like to make a big deal out of holidays and they certainly don’t like a big deal being made of themselves. So keep your gifts lowkey. Dad loves to eat so buy him a tasty Edible Arrangement. There’s no better gift than the gift you can eat. Edible Arrangements even has special Father’s Day themed baskets for the most important guy in your life. Order yours now so that it gets delivered by Sunday.

If Dad fancies himself to be an outdoorsman then the perfect way to spend your Father’s Day weekend is outdoors with him! Camping is a great bonding activity and we’re certain you’ll both enjoy it. Bring everyone to make it a family affair, just make sure you bring enough sleeping bags. Panola Mountain State Park (A 30 minute drive away from Clairmont Reserve) is the perfect place to get away.

A picnic is the perfect way to kick off a weekend with dad, just make sure to pack his favorite snacks. With 25 miles of trails throughout the park, you’re definitely going to need fuel for all that hiking you’re bound to do. Does Dad have aim to be envious of? Try out archery together and have yourself a little wager on who can get the most bullseyes. (You should probably let him win.)

With 2 beautiful lakes within the park you can either spend your time on the shore, soaking up the sun or you can get out and go fishing. With fishing permitted on both lakes, you’re bound to end up with something to bring back to camp for dinner that night. No matter what you and dad get up to in the forest, we know you’ll have a great time.

Dad will appreciate the time you took to show him how much you care and how much he means to you. It doesn’t hurt that you’ll most definitely be the favorite child after all the fun he had.
