Vacation Day Uno

How to have a great vacation--A pictorial travel guide.
Start the first day of vacation with a peach/mango smoothie on the balcony.
Pile most of  the people you are vacationing with onto your bed.
Have a tickle fight.
Photograph it.
Go to church.  Sing hymns with the STP on one side of you and the Queen of Queens on the other side of you. (Best not to take pictures.)

Come back to the lake and fire up the grill.
Play a few hands of Uno while the coals get hot.
Learn how to say,"Good game." like you mean it, and be a good loser, because the STP wins three hands in a row.
Enjoy grilled venison, smashed potatoes, tossed salad, and chocolate mousse cake for lunch.
Spend the afternoon swimming with your grandkids.
All of them, one at a time.  Have the pool to yourselves so you can race and dive for dinosaurs with wild abandon and without thought to how you look in your bathing suit.  Be sure to lose most, if not all, of the races.
Get the kayak out onto the lake.  Try not to covet the big fancy lake houses you see along the shore.  Let the STP do most of the paddling.

Go to see Despicable Me 2 in the evening. (See it in 3D so you can all wear the glasses.  Eat popcorn for dinner.)
Be sure to take the best grandson in the world along.  Watching him watch the movie will make you laugh as often as watching the movie.
Pick up supplies and make a few plans for day two.  Go to bed happy and sleep soundly.
Be sure to charge your camera battery because tomorrow we head to Glacier.
