My dad is a wonderful father and it was great to go and spend Father's Day with him yesterday. As a gift for my dad, my sisters and I decided to get him a Webcam. He is a first time grandpa as of about 2 months ago and his grandson is living in Maryland. We thought a Webcam would be a perfect gift so he could see his grandson more frequently.
Although it sounded like a perfect idea we worried that my dad would not embrace the Webcam because he is easily discouraged and frustrated with computers. We took a chance though and went ahead and got him a Logitech Webcam.
I had him open a present that held a note that told him to go into his office.
Once there, he read an email from Anderson (his grandson - even though it was really written by my sister) that included a bunch of pictures. We talked about how neat it was that technology allowed Wendy to take pictures and share them with us in the same day.
Then, I closed the email and there was Anderson, LIVE!
At first, my dad was confused and thought it was a video that he had already seen...
but after we explained to him it was live and there was a camera on top of his computer he LOVED IT! He totally embraced it and learned how to start a web call and had so much fun talking to Anderson.
Here he is showing Anderson his bald spot...
All in all...I think it was a success!

HUGE success! I can't think of any other gift any of us have ever given dad that "love" would describe his reaction. I don't even think "like" would work with gifts of the past. Way to go Ali. And way to see it as an opp. to blog! (cute orem parade too)
