Easter weekend

Finally pictures from Easter!  On Friday we went to the Botanical Gardens to see the Easter bunny.  I was a little surprised that neither Evelyn nor Jameson were afraid.


There were lots of other Easter themed activities, including a petting area with bunnies, chickens, and lambs.  Jameson loved the animals.


Friday night we drove to Decatur to spend Easter with my Mimi and Grandpa.  The weather was beautiful on Saturday so Mimi took us to the zoo.


Jameson loved the goats or maybe he was just really excited to be out of the stroller.


We rode the train.


And of course, we rode the carousel.


Even Jameson; his first carousel ride.  I think he was a little frightened when it started up but then he settled right in.


After naps, we had our Easter egg hunt.  Jameson quickly caught on to how the hunt worked but he was easily distracted once he learned there were jelly beans inside the eggs.  He also seemed to think there was an endless supply of eggs and was disappointed when the hunt was over.


Evelyn, the seasoned egg hunter, had to be told several times to leave eggs for her brother.


Sunday morning we took some pictures before church.

Everybody together.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall. 

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
