“I am not ashamed to say that no man is my father’s equal, and I never loved any other as much.” These are words to describe my father by Hedy Lamarr. Admiration of my father is evident because he plays inside and outside with me and encourages me to try new things all the time!                                                                                            My dad still plays with me around the house and when we go shopping and when we see our family. he also chases me, like when he told me not to run in a parking lot and then chased me to the other side, and when I steal the remote from him and he chases me to get it back and when he catches me, he tickles me until I have water in my eyes. The best thing is when we play soccer together, it’s our favorite sport!                                                                                            My dad encourages me to try new things like sushi for example. Although he isn’t always home when he is he encourages the whole family to try new things like roller coasters and skiing and snowboarding and to see our grandma and grandpa, and he also encourages me to help him fix our cars and learn so when it happens when he isn’t home I can do it.                                                                      Even though my dad is crusty and tired with age he still laughs and plays with the family like a little boy like me and the whole family, including my cat Jinxie, hope this fun adventure never ends.
