As far as my two sons are concerned, their dad is a superhero who's capable of anything. He can fix a broken toy, help them shoot a BB gun, kiss a booboo, hold a living room wrestle-match, build a marshmallow-ready fire, cook a perfect Sunday morning waffle, and perhaps most impressively, perform a front wheelie on his bike. Sure, I may be able to do these things too (well . . . not so much the front wheelie trick), but there's just something special about fathers.
A loving dad is a wonderful thing to behold, from the day their child is born to all the milestones and moments that happen after that. Just for fun, I've rounded up a series of amazing dad photos that I hope will put a smile on your face today. Enjoy!
