With Father’s Day around the corner on June 16, 2024, we are offering a list of things to do with your dad to capture the fun and memories to come.
Whether you and your Dad choose to make a family video, share your favorite tunes, plan a night on the town, or hang out by the Q by the pool, our family at LeMontreaux Apartments for rent in Austin sends the best to all the fathers in our community.
Take A Selfie or Family Video
First, capture your moments together and stage some selfies that will make you smile for years to come. If you cannot be together, find some of your favorite photos together and send them to Dad (the sooner, the better)!
For those who are a little more techie, make a video that you can play years from now. To make this fun and easy, click into Vimeo’s Free Video Creator to capture those memories that make being with Dad so extra special.
Make Dad A Play List
There are so many talented musicians who have written songs about their dads. The best ones are those that tell memorable stories or have a little humor to keep him smiling through your celebration and beyond. As you prepare to embark on this perfect gift for Father’s Day, we will give you a head start by recommending our following favorites:
- My Father’s Eye, by Eric Clapton
- Wind Beneath My Wings, by Gerald and Eddie Levert
- Build Me a Daddy, by Luke Brown
- First Man, by Camila Cabello
- I Learned From You, by Miley Cyrus
- He Didn’t Have to Be, by Brad Paisley
- Color Him Father, by The Winstons
- He Walked on Water, Randy Travis
Capture Your Family History
Father’s Day is the perfect day to slow down, unplug, and plug into your dad’s stories about his father and those before him. Just as important, or more, if you are fortunate enough to have a father or grandfather who served our country, now is the time to ask those delicate questions that will paint the picture of one or more of your favorite heroes: Try these:
How did you come to serve in the military? ‘
What is your proudest moment?
During your service, can you recall times when you were afraid?
What are your strongest memories from your time in the military?
What lessons did you learn from this time in your life?

The Drop-in Summer Series: Inspired by Austin’s love of outdoor jams, this free outdoor concert series is every Thursday, August 15.
