I only take one 'out' as a father. I use that out for the beach, which means I have to go to parades (and the zoo and to fireworks) with a smile on my face like I am having the time of my life (I don't want to be the dad who only does things he wants to do - but I don't mind being the dad who never goes to the beach).
