Hi Kyle,
These are the kind of photographs that make me feel hully gully all over! 
That's like "feeling all warm and nice inside." How could one not be proud 
of the picture as he sure looks like a hero kinda guy with that slight warm 
smile.

Fine pictures of a guy's dad! Trust me it can't get any better than what you 
illustrate here.:-) I bet there are millions about the world who'd be proud 
to show the picture and say, "hey this is my Dad. My hero!"

My favourite is the 2nd as your dad appears more relaxed and into the fun of 
having his picture taken with the cat.

Boy I'd have a great big print of this around for Father's Day next year. 
Actually I'd have one around all year so I could see my dad every day 
because it illustrates a "Real honest to goodness dad whom I know loves me 
and I love him!  My hero!"

That me son is a special feeling many young guys and gals don't have the 
pleasure of doing or knowing.

Well done, good on you. A class act!
