Zoo

We took a mini trip to the zoo today. We got there early but we clearly picked the wrong day. I think every school kid in Allen county was at the zoo for endangered species day. Everyone always goes to Africa first so we jumped ahead to Indonesia and beat a good number of the school groups. 


Can’t miss a chance to ride the carousel. 



Or take a picture with the Komodo dragon. I wasn’t going to take the stroller but Jameson insisted he wanted it and for that most part he rode in it and didn’t walk much (which considering how busy it was, wasn’t a bad thing). 


By the time we made it to Africa the crowds had thinned out. And we caught the creature chat with the colobus monkeys. 


The zoo has a new sign!  A nice lady offered to take our picture as we were leaving.

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.
