The third Sunday in June is a special day set aside to honor our fathers and the other special men (stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, etc.) in our lives. You’ve probably heard the saying “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” This Father’s Day you can make that saying come true. He plans a barbecue and prepares and bottles some homemade barbecue sauce for Dad. (Visit kidssoup.com for instructions) Invite family and close friends to your dad or just let it be you and your dad. For dessert, make an ice cream bar. No dessert could be simpler than the ice cream sundae: a scoop of ice cream, a sweet topping, a dollop of whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Provide a variety of ice cream flavors (make sure Dad’s favorite flavor is present) and toppings (crushed cookies, small candies, chips, nuts, crumbled chocolate bars, fruit toppings, hot chocolate, butterscotch topping, chocolate, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries).
