A budding masochist, perhaps?So mini meow - who I forbid from playing goalie in hockey, has decided to work the system by playing as a shot-blocking defenseman. And not your typical 8-year-old sliding and diving all over to try and block a shot. Actual...form and timing. He's like a 50 pound Zbynek Michalek. I don't know what to do to stop this
Did you do the water park? We're going to Hershey Park on Friday, and I'm thinking of spending more time at the water park for obvious reasons. Our neighbors have season passes, so we get in an hour earlier than the public, which I think we'll probably use riding the more popular rides to get them out of the way.My daughter and I went to Hershey Park today. Had a great time, mainly due to strategy.
As soon as we got there at park open, we beelined for the back of the park. We were able to ride Jolly Rancher Remix, Storm Runner, and Fahrenheit twice, with no wait. Hung out at the water park for a few hours (again, much less busy at noon vs 300) and then hit up several more coasters on the way out of the park while everyone was further back.
Proud of my 8 year old, she was very game for anything... Although the first photo from Storm Runner is priceless
Yep! We blitzed the roller coasters in the first hour and then beelined straight for the water park for a few hours. It was getting crazy at the water park when we left, as all the people that had been sweating all day now wanted to go there. At that point, that's when we worked our way towards the front again hitting up roller coasters and other rides with shorter lines.Did you do the water park?

That's what I assumed would happen, and was planning on doing exactly what you did. Nice.Yep!

Dunno yet, as school doesn't start for a few months, but I've heard that 4th grade is where homework starts to really pick up. She has to do her homework immediately upon getting home, so that won't really be an issue. I'm more worried about projects and other stuff, along with simply getting enough sleep those nights.What kind of homework is she getting in 4th grade that's going to suffer?
I mean I feel you on the late nights though. My daughter's 10U softball team was doing the same and now for the fall comp team they're looking at 7-9. My biggest thing is picking her up, getting home, getting the family fed, and then heading out the door by 6:30.
My neighbor (daughter’s best friend’s parents) has this issue. Her one girl plays in an older league, and the other plays in my daughter’s. First girl has practices T and Th, other is M and W. So the parents have to split duties.I'm dragging my feet signing my boys up for sports in the fall. We take the summers off for sports, and it's well deserved. Running them around to various practices and games is very stressful with two working parents. Even though my wife only works 3 days a week, practices always end up on one of those days.
I really enjoy being an assistant coach when I can, or just watching them play. As long as they are having fun, it's great. But wow does it make for long days when they are in different age groups meaning different days of the week for practice. I really don't know how my parents did it with me and my brothers.
One of the best things about the kids getting older is their ability to drive themselves to this stuff. 8 am practice? 4 pm? K, see ya, drive safe!I'm dragging my feet signing my boys up for sports in the fall. We take the summers off for sports, and it's well deserved.
