- Lunchtime arrival.
- Snacking on various chips and dips and assorted other finger foods, if lucky gizzards may be provided.
- Drinking beer.
- Drinking tequila with Grandpa Jack.
- Chasing children and yelling at them (both yours and others').
- Swimming (not every time)
- Cruising the lake on the pontoon boat.
- Eating dinner (usually a pot-luck style arrangement)
On special occasions, activities can stretch into the wee hours of the morning. Highlights of the lake season are: Rot-Gut Beer Contest Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day Weekend, and Cousins Reunion Day. All in all, it's a pretty good way to spend a summer day. As evidenced by all of the beautiful new homes popping up around the lake, the secret is getting out. Look out Lake of the Ozarks, Gardner Lake is coming for you!
