Father’s Day
8 Things to do with Dad this Father’s Day!
Father’s Day is a pretty good excuse to ditch the usual socks and jocks and spend some quality time together.
Whether your dad is happiest with a cold beer, a round of golf, a fishing rod or a big family lunch, Albany has plenty of ways to make a day of it. So, from the team at Barrel Farm, here are 8 things to do with Dad this Father’s Day.
Take Dad for a round of golf
Get Dad out on the green for a round of golf. Whether he’s a serious golfer or just enjoys having a hit, a few hours on the greens is a pretty solid way to spend Father’s Day.
Go Fishing
Keep it simple, grab the rods, pack some snacks and head out for a morning of fishing. Whether you’re chasing a big catch or just enjoying some quiet time, the best Father’s Day plans don’t need much planning at all.
Get Outside
Albany has plenty a beautiful spots to get out and explore. Head down to the coast, take a walk, kick the footy around or find somewhere scenic for a family picnic.
Challenge Dad to a game
Find out if Dad really is as competitive as he says he is. A game of backyard cricket, a race, footy, cards or a board game that can quickly turn into a family championship. Winner gets bragging rights until next Father’s Day.
Breakfast in Bed
Good old breakfast in bed to start Dad’s day off right. Because he deserves a slow morning, a fully belly and absolutely no getting up before he’s ready.
Cook Dad his Favourite Dinner
Give Dad the night off and cook his favourite meal at home. Fire up the BBQ, put on some music, crack open a bottle of something good and help out. It doesn’t have to be fancy - just make it something he loves.
Dad’s ‘YES’ Day
Turn Father’s Day into Dad’s very own ‘Yes Day’ - he calls the shots, and the rest of the family has to say YES! Want pancakes for breakfast? Yes. Ice cream before lunch? Absolutely. Lazy afternoon while everyone gets his drinks? Yes. Whatever Dad wants, Dad gets. Within reason, obviously.
Have a family lunch at Barrel Farm
Round up the family, book a table and make Dad the guest of honour. No shopping, no cooking and no mess - just good food, good drinks and plenty of time together around the table. Or even jump out into one of barrel farm pitches for some footy or basketball.
