Dads, granddads share their idea of a perfect Father’s Day
“My idea of a perfect Father's Day is just spending it with my three boys, doing just whatever it is they want to do. Right now, raising them, that's what's most important to me - making sure we get a chance to spend some quality time together. We go fishing. I'll take them to the movies, whatever special activities that they want to do. I just let them choose, and we do that.”
— John Bennett, Lawrence
“My perfect Father's Day would be getting up to a nice, big home-cooked breakfast, go to church with the family, come home and take the kids fishing. It's usually worth a lot of laughs. It's a good time, just having fun watching them have excitement and enjoying it while they do.”
— Mike Russell, Lawrence
“A perfect Father's Day usually starts off with them letting me play a little bit of golf, and then we usually go to lunch as a family - do a picnic or something like that - go fishing, just hanging out with the family.”
— Scott Huffman, Lawrence
“A perfect Father's Day is having your kids and grandkids around. Nothing beats it.”
— Ron Baughman, Lawrence
“Just being with the family is good enough.”
— Gary Florez, Lawrence
“(The) perfect Father's Day would be just doing something that my kids enjoy and making sure they have a good time and have fun. The reason why is because, as a father, the best thing you can do is make sure they're happy and content.”
— Alyn Thomsen, Lawrence
“I think a perfect Father's Day would involve going somewhere with the family. ... My two kids play baseball, one plays softball, so it would involve going to one of their activities.”
— Phillip Moreano, Lawrence
