Dad’s Weekend

Posted in Family with tags , , , on October 14, 2012 by David McInerny

Every fall the fraternities and sororities at the University of Kansas sponsor Dad’s Weekends. They typically include a Friday dinner and a Saturday home football game. My freshman at the Beta Theta Pi house had me over yesterday before the game, where we all enjoyed great BBQ. Come game time though, the weather looked worse than ominous, so we gave our tickets away and headed for Cabela’s for necessary hunting gear instead.

Today was a scheduled event at Powder Creek Shooting Range in Lenexa. Forty-four sons and dads competed in trap shooting, which was a fun three hours. We took our hunting dog, who thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon in the woods. I didn’t shoot well, as expected, but my son did, which was equally expected. He clearly loved showing off his hound to his new friends, almost as much as I enjoyed showing my son off to mine.
