When I was a kid Father’s Day seemed like a less important holiday around the house. There was always a lot of fuss made about Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even Mother’s Day, but Father’s Day was marked by a nice meal and little more. It wasn’t until much later in life when I became a father that I understood why. It’s because dad just took care of everything, and never expected a parade.

A good dad doesn’t need a lot of fanfare. A good dad doesn’t need to be fawned over. A good dad takes care of his family even when it means giving up every single one of his hopes and dreams. Dads are the workhorses that keep the entire world running, and when we see our kids laugh, play, and grow up, that’s all the thanks we need.

With Father’s Day coming Sunday, June 19th, this is the perfect opportunity to say thanks to your dad. You don’t need to make a big thing of it, just give the old man a hug.

But if you insist on doing something nice for Father’s Day, we’ve put together our best placed to take dad in Twin Falls for Father’s Day.
