​I always enjoy Jimmy Fallon’s "pros and cons" segment on The Tonight Show. So today I thought I’d share my own list. Yep folks, I’m weighing the good with the bad, sharing the pros and cons of summer vacation.
Sheri's List of Pros and Cons of Summer Vacation ...
Pro:  School's out so we can finally sleep late!
Con: Realizing we still need to wake up early for band camp, volleyball camp, basketball camp, and vacation Bible school. 

Pro:  Cheering for my kid when she hits the softball over the fence. 
Con: Switching from cheering to groaning when the ball went foul and hit the hood of my car.​

Pro:  Bright sunny days!
Con: Embarrassing raccoon eyes when I take off my sunglasses. 

Pro:  The kids are home, so I’ll have extra help with cooking, cleaning and laundry. 
Con: The kids are home, so we’ll have extra meals to cook, extra messes to clean and extra laundry to do.

Pro:  Preserving those fun family moments forever on film.

​Pro:  Going out for dinner almost every night.
Con: Dinner choices consist of hot dogs, nachos, Gatorade and skittles.

Pro:  ​
Hearing squeals of laughter as your kids play in the pool.
Con: Realizing the squeals are coming from a girl getting her head dunked underwater, and the laughter is from the other two.

Pro:  Summer break allows time for my kids to really share their thoughts, feelings and opinions with me. 
Con: Those thoughts, feelings and opinions include, “I’m hungry,” “I’m bored,” and “It’s too hot to go outside.”

Pro:  Long car trips surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Con: Long car trips surrounded by intermittent whiffs of unpleasant aromas inside the car.

Pro:  Making memories with your kids that you’ll never forget.
​Con: No matter how hard you try.
So there you have it. Those are the pros and cons of summer vacation. From my perspective anyway. This summer I wish you all lots of fun family memories. May your pros always outweigh your cons.
