You can do it!!
I'm from MA. My kids are 8 1/2 & 11. The way we do it is we do not sign the kids up for anything that runs on weekends. My son does gymnastics during the week. He ends up missing most of his Sunday school, he does his Sunday school home work at the lake. My daughter does paino, jazz/hiphop & gets tutored all during the week. They go to camp for the 1st session of summer. Ocassionally we will stay home on a weekend if a very best friend has a birthday party or something REALLY important is going on. I can only remember missing 3-5 weekends in the whole year. We are up here almost every weekend!! It will be a different way of bringing the kids up. We are always together as a family. My kids will be great swimmers and hopefully will enjoy the outdoors. We're hoping that we are filling them with good family values. We love hiking and exploring all the outdoor fun stuff. We love to ski. The kids have friends at the lake. It's just a great place. I hope were doing the right thing. I think we are. I'm sure things could change when the kids get about 13-16 years old. At that point I'm hoping they'll be able to bring friends with them so we can still come up.
P.S. Not a bad investment all around!!
