Zack loves summer vacation. He likes not being in school. He likes to stay up late. He likes to sleep for a long time in the mornings. He likes to play all day. He likes going on vacation. He loves summer treats. Ice cream, shakes, and snow cones are his favorites. Most of all, he likes his family's backyard cookouts.
Each summer Zack's family has five or six cookouts. They invite their whole family. They invite a lot of friends. Everyone gets to talk and play. Everyone gets to eat delicious food!
Zack's favorite thing to do is cook. His dad lets him help cook all kinds of food. They cook steaks, hamburgers, and hot dogs on their grill. They cook chicken on the grill, too. One time they even cooked a whole turkey on the grill!
