Here is a recipe for a com­pletely unevent­ful and won­der­fully non pro­duc­tive day.

Grab some kids, hope­fully your own, but bor­row­ing some is accept­able. Or bet­ter yet, mix them up and get the best of both worlds.

Provide them with a river.

And a jetty if at all possible.

Why, you won­der? Why not just a river or a wet patch in the mid­dle of your backyard?

Cause, my dear­est read­ers, you can jump off a jetty.

You can sneak bel­low it and enjoy the action, undis­turbed like a secre­tive freak.

Luckily I am the par­ent, so no one was run­ning me off the grounds.

You can also run on top of the jetty like a mad per­son. For no good reason.

That last one is a favorite for every child. I wish I had that too.
Instead I take the pictures:

Then after a few hours in the water and when the kids are all wet to the bones, you put a pic­nic rug on the grass for them to lie on. That is because you for­got to bring a towel or any­thing really. You would think that is a shame, but not. Dont fret. The lit­tle ones man­age to make it all fun in a mat­ter of sec­onds. The rug becomes a tent and every­thing ends well.

With drip­ping seats at the back of the car.

And that is how you do it.

K?
