Ward is excited when an opportunity arises to take the family for a weekend outing to Shadow Lake, one of his childhood hangouts. June is less than excited as she has nothing nice to wear. The boys are even less excited as they want to stay in town to watch a movie playing at the cinema. Ward convinces his family that they will have fun, much like he did when he was a child. Once at Shadow Lake, the boys' time is not as they originally envisioned after they go for a hike, much to Ward's exasperation as their outdoor experience is not one that Ward experienced there as a child. Ward and the boys' fishing trip, although initially exciting, also ends up not being as Ward remembers his time as a child to be. Ward feels perhaps he cannot go back and relive his childhood with his boys, but the boys surprise him when Ward decides to head home early.
