I have three dads in my life. I help my kids recognize the awesomeness that is inherent in their father. I coordinate with my siblings to do something nice for my dad and I seem to be the responsible party for celebrating my father-in-law. These men are integral parts of my daily life. They deserve recognition everyday but especially on Sunday. Celebrate your favorite dad with tips from ThurstonTalk.
Here’s to all the dads in Olympia this weekend!
- Play with other adults inside the Hands On Children’s Museum during their Adult Swim party on Friday night.
- Watch planes fly during the Olympic Air Show on Saturday and Sunday. For a few bucks (or maybe a lot), you can thrill Dad with a flight.
- Cast your line at Offut Lake during their annual Father’s Day fishing derby on Saturday and Sunday.
- Educate your crew during the free P.S. I Love You festival in downtown Olympia. Celebrate Puget Sound on Saturday.
