Father’s Day is on Sunday, we hope you make time to celebrate the Fathers in your lives, remember to laugh at their Dad Jokes – at least for one day 🙂
We share some stories about our Dads
Lucy tells us this great local story “My Dad used to visit Whistler for the Summer from England and at 84 years young would ride his mobility scooter to the Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub in Whistler Village for lunch and a Guiness most days. He was always a source of wisdom and advised one of the lovely servers to consider washing her clothes on the cool cycle because every time he visited the skirts seemed to have gotten shorter! There is a reason his nickname was Dennis the Menace!”
We hope Kiki’s Mum isn’t reading this one “In my early teens I can remember my dad being on a lacrosse trip in the States one year, when he  called home to Australia to say he’s landed in hospital with a stomach bug. Several days and millions of tests later, he is released and returns to the tour.  Much discussion is had about concern for my Dad’s health, the cost of a 4 day stay in an American hospital (thankfully covered by the team’s medical) and our whole family is just anxious to have him home. Several years later, I am training for the state team and my coach and I are having a laugh at the pub after training. He’s regaling me with stories of my Dad and his amazing history in the sport, when he launches into this great tale about my Dad on a trip in the states and how he ended up in hospital. Turns out, drinking an entire bottle of tequila, including the worm, after a long day of consuming beers at a golf course without drinking any water on a 30 degree day doesn’t settle so well…Happy Fathers Day Dad, I will never tell mum, this one is between us xxx”
Kristi writes “When I think of my Dad, I smile. I don’t get to see him very often, however he sure holds a special place in my heart. Memories. I’ve got travel on my mind! Family trips to Florida, party time with Dad in Dominican Republic, and then we spent 2 1/2 weeks together at the end of 2007 touring around the Greek Islands, followed by a couple nights in London with some friends. It was his longest vacation he’s ever had. We enjoyed amazing food and had many adventures. Sunset in Santorini was pretty spectacular! I hope we can do another trip together one of these days! I love you so much Dad. Happy Father’s Day!”
