Father’s Day Fun

 Break the Rules

“No fighting!” may be a common household phrase, but today it’s time to break the rules – and some water balloons, too! Unleash your inner kid in a day of outdoor water wars. Splurge on a water gun (the high-power kind, of course) and have a blast dodging

the kids’ bursting balloons. How well did you teach them to throw?

The Great Outdoors

You taught them how to ride a bike, now it’s time to put it to use. Spend the day biking with the kids down some of (Father’s Day Fun)

Gainesville’s best nature trails, like Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail or Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park.

Get Lost

Not sure how to spend the day? Hop in the car and let the kids be your guide. There’s no better way to relinquish responsibility(Father’s Day Fun)

than to put your children in charge. They say turn left at the light? Do it. They say take a hard right? No questions asked. Stop at the

first ice cream parlor you see.

King of the Castle

Sometimes, all a guy needs is a place to prop his feet and a remote in his hand. Today, instead of mindlessly watching the

game on TV, take time to explain the rules to the little squirt. Then, follow it up by grabbing a ball, heading outside and starting

a game of your own.

Dads and Dogs Of course, the kids aren’t the only ones who want some attention from Dad on Father’s Day. Our four-legged family members deserve some dad time, too.Take the whole family (Fido included!) to one of Gainesville’s best dog parks like Dog

Wood Park or Squirrel Ridge Park for an afternoon of furry fun.

No matter how you celebrate Father’s Day this year, just remember to do it(Father’s DayFun)
