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…
That is a full docket, for sure.
Slim told me a couple days ago that he was getting up early because he didn’t want to miss any summer.
Okay, that right there is just yummy. That Slim kid is awesome. 🙂
Everyone is going to Yosemite this year! And yes, you do have a full summer!
Even if it’s just a day trip I can see why – the Yosemite waterfalls look spectacular this year! We’re not going until August, but they say the waterfalls will still be amazing then. And like a major league baseball player can’t lay off the high fast ones, I can resist jam packing a summer to wring as much fun as possible out of it!

I am soon to be a mother, and getting into this mom website helps me a lot to get ideas from the mothers out there all over the world. And as I can see to your blog post, you have so much planned for your kid! That makes me more excited to also do these things for my kids. I want to be an active mother and child interaction so that we can something in common to do. Soon, I will update you about my kids. Thanks for inspiring me. 🙂
