That's My Dad 2012
William Shakespeare once wrote, “It is a wise father that knows his own child.” When Southwest fathers are not being all-around superheroes for their families, they are busy becoming experts on 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 19th annual That’s My Dad photo contest are no exception.
This annual photo album, dedicated to Southwest Orlando dads, 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. The staff of the
Southwest Orlando Bulletin wishes a hearty Happy Father’s Day to all Southwest dads!
