Over the last year you could read on our site about the various activities Mikayla is involved in at school, at home, and with friends. But, what you may not realize is the incredibly time consuming schedule she has (and in turn, we have as her parents…well, and the rest of the kids too for that matter). Below is a list of her current activities, schedules and appearances.

Basketball
As of last week, Mikayla’s basketball season began. While the first few weeks are filled with practices, her first official pre-season tournament game begins in October. Currently her team practices Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings. Once the season begins this schedule will change to Saturday morning practices with games being played two nights a week. A schedule of games will be posted as soon as we get it.

Soccer
Starting this Sunday afternoon, Mikayla’s soccer season (and Juli’s soccer season, since she is coaching again this year) will “kick-off” (did you see what I did there…that’s ingenious writing) with a practice in the afternoon. Practices will continue to be on Sunday afternoons with games on Saturday mornings. A schedule will be posted as soon as we get them.

Horseback Riding
Starting this fall (at some point) Mikayla will be venturing off to an unknown farm with her school friend to learn about the wonders of horseback riding. This is one activity that Mikayla (among millions of other adolescent girls) has been going on about for a couple years. She will attend lessons with her friend once a week.

Guitar Lessons
Although Mikayla has been in guitar lessons for about 4 months now, beginning last week her lessons have dropped from once a week to every other week.

From her activities above, you can see she’s a busy kid. Essentially she’s practicing/playing a sport or activity at least 4-5 days a week. But with all that said, it’s no surprise she’s in so many activities… she’s a talented girl with many gifts.
