Mace, Mesquite and Biker its all been said better by the others. I'm sorry for you.

I got taken out for tea at McDonalds by my girls (6 + 4) which in my and their book is fine dining, my other half wasn't to happy

Well i got a 'daddy's my hero' pint glass off my son and daughter, 15m of amsteel, a pair of tree huggers and 2 dd skins to complete my tarp setup from them for my 30th birthday which was also today. Mrs got me an ipad 3 but the verdict still out on that one due to my deep hatred for apple. We had booked a meal for us all and my parents in local brass but then my daughter decided to throw up all over herself and my car so instead of a nice juicey rib eye it was cleaning my daughter up and chip shop tea at home. But doesn't matter as all the family were there and my daughter feels much better now. Funny how things turn out though.

The actual present came early. I posted this past week on the "what did you buy today" thread about the Real deal Brazil hat that they bought me. I say "they" because I don't know if it was my daughter's or her fiance's idea (she finally found a good one) For today they invited me (and the fiance's parents) to a cook-out and swim at a local State Park.

I've posted about her a few times before so I guess an explanation is in order. She's not really my daughter. I dated her mother shortly and we remained close friends for decades (still are) and I helped raise Nikole. She and I have always thought of each other as father and daughter and I'm the Godfather of both her sons.

I consider myself very fortunate and will always refer to her as my daughter for obvious reasons.

Children of the heart are just as precious and loved as your own natural ones SM

Sounds like you had a great day out

Was working yesterday and when I got out of the shower in the morning No 1 daughter was tucked up in my side of the bed beaming.. She said happy fathers day and gave me a card and a bottle of 12yr old Glenlivet!!
Have to have a word with the local shops though... She's not even 3 yet and her mum swears she had nothing to do with it!

This was my first fathers day, and it was a good one.

I was bought a bottle of Ardbeg (my favourite) and three small taster drams of whiskey, but best of all was this







Made me a very happy daddy

[Steve13]

Got a book about Ian Flemming and his work with 30 Assault unit during WW2 from my daughter , and a tub of Baldy cream from my son

Nothing bushcrafty but I buy that stuff myself!!!!!!!!!!!

[Biker]

Now that's a mug that you'll treasure for a lifetime. I have one similar to that but without the palm print from my daughters. LOVE that, what a brilliant idea!

Thanks for the well wishes etc. I sent both my girls a facebook mesage last night (they live in there) I said "You have 1 hour and 28mins to wish me a happy father's day. Absent fathers have feelings too. Please remember that." Just logged in and seen No.1 daughter has sent me a reply which I haven't read as yet. Will do right now.

Kiltedpict. Your posting made me laugh out load. Nice one. Maybe she's just tall for her age?

Bought myself a kelly kettle which was then wrapped and given to me by the kids along with two large bottles of bud.

As I have no kids and both my parents shuffled off this mortal coil ages ago "Fathers Day" and "Mothers Day" are non events in this house - but I love that palmprint mug!
That is something to treasure ... I still have my christening mug... which wierdly enough is "Thursdays Child has far to go" and a picture of a rucksack wearing child on it!
Spooky when you think of my lifetime of long-distance walking and expeditioning...

[laro13]

Biker, didn't you even got a message from Betty, as you are her maker/spiritual father?

[Al Fresco]

My daughter took me out for a lovely Turkish meal....it feels weird not paying!... I could get used to this!
1st time my son not been about, he's just gone off travelling in New Zeland... (lucky him!)
