Fall In!

What's a Dad to Do When the Weather Turns?

By Mark Stackpole

As for fall in the desert? "I plan to go to the park a lot during the day so she can run around and play with other kids," he says. The desert climate also allows Ford to consider the unique opportunity to take some swimming classes together, no matter what the calendar says.

Matthew Henry and his wife live in San Diego, Calif., and they recently welcomed twins into their lives. Though JT and Bri are only 12 weeks old, Henry is already planning for this fall and beyond. "I'm really looking forward to Halloween, and I have had fun dreaming up possible costumes for the kids," he says. "In future years, I hope to involve the kids in decorating our house. We'll pull out the fog machine, giant spiders and have a great time." At the top of Henry's list is "carving the pumpkins, toasting the seeds and having a great time as slimy pumpkin guts get squished between fingers."

As an employee of the YMCA, Henry has been involved with children long before he became a parent himself, and he believes it is important for dads to find out what interests their kids and then get involved. And sometimes, getting involved without Mom provides dads and their kids a unique bonding experience.
