The summer has gone and as the green fades away we usher in the fall season with all of its colors and holiday warmth. The fall season is one of my personal favorites when I look back to when I was a child. Autumn is a wonderful time to be able to spend quality time with our children and create lasting memories that they will be able to cherish and share with their children. There is something special being able to take your children Trick or Treating and Thanksgiving gatherings with family and friends. This is a time of the year that tradition and celebration has shaped and molded a lot of our own memories as well as those of our children. From sharing in picking out costumes and candy to football and turkey this for me has been a wonderful time of the year with family and friends. We have the opportunity to create and build lasting family traditions that will be past on to our children's children. How will you choose to take on this responsibility as DAD this holiday season? What traditions will you choose to create and enjoy with your children? What will you teach them this fall and pass on to that which is unseen? Pick out costumes, decorate some faces and take them on a walk to knock on a few doors. Trust me dads the experience and the time spent with your children will be worth more than all the gold in the world.
