Fun Ways to Spend Father’s Day

Dad’s Big Day is Coming Up!

Hopefully, your Mother’s Day was full of celebration, love, and laughter. Now that Father’s Day is next up, it’s time to think of how you’d like to spend the weekend. Dads, step-dads, grandpas, uncles, and other important father figures in our lives deserve to be praised and pampered. Showing them how much they mean to us is what Father’s Day is all about.

Here are some ideas for how to spend Father’s Day, which is on Sunday, June 20. You don’t have to do anything expensive or fancy (unless you want to) to give dad the star treatment he deserves.

Picnic at the Park

Pack up a nice big picnic basket and bring along a blanket and head to a shady spot in the park. You can make sandwiches, salads, and some cookies or cupcakes. If you’re not into preparing the food yourself, pick up some pre-made goodies at the grocery store or dad’s favorite take-out place. Bring along beverages, napkins, and cutlery, and you’re set.

Afternoon at the Movies

Now that movie theaters are back in operation, spend the day feeling cool and comfortable indoors at the movie theater seeing a family-friendly film. Be sure to get plenty of popcorn and candy, and sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Dad will love the time off to get his mind off work and other obligations.

Breakfast in Bed

Treat dad to a morning he won’t soon forget by surprising him with breakfast in bed. The kids can help cook something yummy, like pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Make dad an egg sandwich with sausage or an omelet with veggies and cheese. Go all out with a celebratory mimosa or give him that much-needed cup of coffee to perk him up for a perfect day.

Family Game Night

After a nice dinner at home or a backyard barbeque, the family can sprawl out on the living room floor for a fun family game night. Break out the board games or play a few rounds of charades. Spending time with family is sure to make dad feel blessed.
