That's My Dad 2011
William Shakespeare once wrote, “It is a wise father that knows his own child.” When Southwest dads are not busy being all-around superheroes for their families, they are busy becoming experts in their children. From favorite toys to secret sayings, good dads share a bond with their children like no other. And the fathers in Southwest Orlando Bulletin’s 18th annual That’s My Dad! photo contest are no exception. This annual photo album, dedicated to Southwest Orlando fathers, is one way to say thanks for all the time spent on learning the ins and outs of fatherhood and to show our local dads that they are loved and appreciated every day. And a hearty Happy Father’s Day to all Southwest dads!
