Summer arrangements

If you have children that are school age what kind of arrangements do you have for them while you are working during the summer?  A closely related question is when do you decide they are old enough to stay home alone in the summer?

Travel Sports Teams

Do any of you have children on travel sports teams?  They are a big thing where I live.  Also, you are told your child will not be able to play at highschool, etc. if you don't do travel ball.  The big thing I have seen with travel ball is it takes over your life and your children often have games on Sundays.  I think Sunday should be a time for worship and be with family.  Just trying to see what your experience is with this pressure.  I also see it with cheerleading squads, etc.
