Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there.

I'm being spoiled rotten by my kids and lovely wife today.
Apart from making pancakes for breakie, Sue also made a lovely banana and carrot cake and we'll be having a special dinner tonight.
Got lots of cards from the kids and a great tool set, cologne, a leather bookmark and some clothes.

Nice relaxing day all-round.

Hope everyone's having a great day.

I was about to start up a thread this morning to wish you all a happy Father's Day, but hubbie rushed me out the door, so I'm very glad that Trevor has.

A very happy Father's Day to all you Dad's!

What did you'll do? What loving gifts did you'll receive?

We spent the day in the rain forest of beautiful Lamnington National Park (my fav. spot, don't tell hubby, he needs to thinks it's his idea).
Some of you'll may remember Lamington National Park (the O'Reilly's section) being famous for the Stinton plane crash.
It was raining, but so fresh and beautiful - nothing like rain in the suburbs for sure. We were surrounded by lots of clouds and wow, could see the clouds doing all these weird shapes in front of us Visibility was only 200m, so had to struggle to get any views, but wow, being amongst the clouds was really something! After a beautiful lunch at the tea house there, the gang decided to go for a bush walk in the rain, but I opted to stay on the lounge with a nice hot cuppa and my astro books in front of the large glass window and take in the scenery from the comforts of inside... The weird thing is no one poked fun at me for taking my astro books along, which worries me even more that I've further lost the plot to reality.

I had a great day. All the children came over for a visit. I was taken shopping by the wife which was a nice touch. The youngest made me a card in the shape of Saturn with its rings and gave me the ABC Voyage To The Planets 2 disk set and the older children all chipped in for tickets to a Jimmy Barnes concert. Now if the Rabbitohs get up against the Dragons???

Happy Father's Day to All Deserving Fathers!

Austalian Father's Day is a mixed time for me...as the US Father's Day is on a different date my children have refused to honor both (which was my idea)..they said since there is only one universal Mother's Day there can be only one Father's Day...a bit unfair if you ask me.
