Momservation: A tired kid is a good kid.
☺ ☺ ☺
This is the time of year people in these parts think that the Wheeler family is crazy. We book up a summer thick with activities like a flea circus on a junk yard dog.
That’s because I am the Queen of the Preemptive Strike when it comes to keeping kids too tired to whine about being bored for the summer. My kids beg to go back to school just to get some rest by the time I’m done with them. My motto has always been: You Want Summer? I’ll Give You Summer Dang It!
So here’s what the Wheeler summer looks like (so far):
- End of school year party √
- Three-day weekend to Palm Springs for Gammy’s 60th bday and cousin’s high school graduation √
- Soccer practice 2 days a week
- Soccer tournaments throughout summer
- Another cousin’s graduation party in the Bay Area
- Wiesy soccer camp
- Sac State baseball camp
- All-Star baseball
- Fun Wednesday trips to Sunsplash Water Park, Skatetown ice skating, Scandia miniature golf, the movies, Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma
- Grampa’s birthday party
- Daddy’s birthday/4th of July annual pool party bash
- Camp Winthers sleep-away camp
- Sac State soccer camp
- Shaver Lake camping trip
- Auntie Zann’s birthday party
- Buzzardball basketball camp
- California StateFair
- Extended family American River rafting trip
- Yosemite camping trip
And this is just what’s scheduled. It doesn’t count impromptu backyard swim parties and BBQ’s, sleep-overs, and the-best-boat-is-your-friends-boat day trips.
So buckle your seat belts, keep all arms, hands, legs and feet inside the vehicle and enjoy the ride…
