| I think you should bring your son; that's what made him a father.
Maybe let your son be part of the decision-making process for where to
go? Even if he's a baby, let him point at a list or a drawing or
something.

| 3944.2 | Great idea ! | FMAJOR::WALTER | | Fri Jun 10 1994 16:02 | 13 |
| I agree with you Art. So far, we have yet to go anywhere without him
and the in-laws are upset that they never get to babysit! However, we
both work full time so our time with Paul is very limited as it is.
I just didn't know if he would want a romantic dinner out without Paul
because he isn't even 8 months old yet. I also thought that we would
all be together for the actual Father's Day at the bbq party. I still
like your idea and specially the one about him helping me making a
decision.
Thanks!

The reason it's called FATHERS DAY kinda makes me think the kids
should be there too, or is your husband also your father?

| 3944.4 | Something to think about... | FMAJOR::WALTER | | Fri Jun 10 1994 17:13 | 6 |

Very true -1. However, when asked what most women wanted for Mother's
day, the standard comment was, "a romantic dinner out ... without the
kids!"

| re: .most
I concur. Whatever gets planned for Fathers' day for me, I want my kids
involved, somehow. They're both in their 20's now, and the older one can't
be home that day, but they're what make it Fathers' day for me.
And, to stay on track with the conference, it _will_ be something_on_the_grill!

| re: Karen
Good idea. Father's Day is pointless (for me) without the children. It's
a day to enjoy family.
However, it would certainly be appreciated to be shown a romantic evening
out. After all, it's nice to know we still supply a spark on occasion. ;-)

| Something on the grill sounds good...lately we've moved away from
burgers and dogs to ribs and chicken. I like Lloyd's BBQ sauce and
really slop it on the ribs and chicken. Add potato salad and a fresh
strawberry shortcake for dessert and my husband would be happy! Then,
let the kids clean up (the best part of when they get older 8^)).

Fathers day is just that..."His day" Ask him. Personaly I'm
gone for the day fishing with other Fathers, no wife no kids.
I'd ask him what he would like.

| 3944.10 | and the fathers say.............. | FMAJOR::WALTER | | Wed Jun 15 1994 14:37 | 22 |
| Well considering all the replies, I did ask my husband what he wanted.
He agreed a day with "his" father(s) and his son. As for the bbq,
general concensus for menu by dads are as follows:
Pickled Herring
Chicken Wings
Grilled Swordfish Kabobs
Grilled Steak
Grilled Chicken Breasts
Tossed Salad
Cheesey Potatoes
Watermelon
Cake
We need a couple more vegies and appetizers if anyone has any ideas on
what will go well with this menu.
Thanks much!
