This past weekend, our dads and lads headed out to The Junction for a night of campfires, games, and good old-fashioned fun.

There were smokies and s'mores around the fire, pancakes in the morning, and a game of lights and lanterns played out in the dark on Holland Field next door — lads darting through the field while the dads did their best to fend off the swarms coming at them from every direction.

A late-night rain shower snuck in and left more than a few guys slipping into soggy shoes the next morning, but it didn't put a damper on the weekend. Lads from every age group hung out together like old friends, and the dads got a night to just be present with their sons.

Nights like this are what Dads & Lads is all about — dads and their boys, unplugged, making memories that'll get retold around campfires for years to come.
