Default Dad's 60th birthday

For my dads birthday this year my sisters and I are going to take our dad on a camping/fishing trip to the coal branch where he spent many years when he was my age. I decided to make him a giant fly so he has something to open instead of us just telling him we're going . Made it out of some emt pipe, yarn , feathers , and pipe cleaners from Walmart. Took a little longer than expected with some "help" from Penny

Your trip sounds like a wonderful idea. It's great to honor our parents.

Thoughtful. Tell your dad the hook doubles as a good backscratcher too.
