My Greatest Adventure

by Chip Gaines
Published on May 23, 2022

I've been a dad for the better part of two decades now, which is crazy to think about. Every single day, I get to watch my kids grow up and chase after their own horizons. More often than not, they invite me along for the ride. Through their own unique journeys and dreams, I've been able to see and experience far more of the world than I ever would have on my own. I've been introduced to pockets of their world I never would have seen otherwise. I've met new friends because of them. I've heard new music, gone to new places, and been exposed to new ideas that are inspiring my own dreams. These kiddos are taking in the world one day at a time, finding joy in things that we far too often take for granted.

Just like all of us, my kids are all different. Different dreams. Different insecurities. Different interests. Different paths they want to take. As a dad, I often find myself in the passenger seat (sometimes literally) encouraging them to keep on going, to find their own way, and to know that I'll be there whenever they need a helping hand.

Being a dad has been my greatest adventure. And today, as I think about all they've given me, I'm grateful there's still a long road to travel and hopefully a thousand more horizons to chase together.

Jo and the team put together some fun Father’s Day stuff they think we are all going to love.
