Tennis anyone?

Show me the right path o Lord, point out the road for me to follow.  Psalm 25:4-5

School ends in two days.  Soccer starts up tonight, followed by biking, followed by another night of soccer, followed by badminton camps, running programs, 3 on 3, and hockey camps later in the season.  Believe it or not but I have tried to keep my kids summer schedule to a minimum.  Oh- I forgot that my 10 year old wants to learn tennis too!  I believe that down time for them is vital for their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.  Carving out this time is proving difficult.  Did I mention they all want to get a puppy? I love the fact that they are happy and active and always up for adventure, but I also know that sometimes they need space to just "be".
I am praying the above verse daily.
And seeking the Lord's direction.
What should my children's summer season look like?  What activities would be best for them to be involved in, not just physically but spiritually too?
I want this summer to be a time of fun and excitement but also a time of spiritual refreshment too. 

Show me the right path for my children to follow this summer Lord, help me know best how to parent them during this precious season.
