Yesterday I took the kids strawberry picking. It was a first for all three of us. The farm was in Ohio so about a 30 minute drive away. It was the first day for picking and the weather was so nice, but we almost didn’t go. I was worried Jameson wouldn’t understand the concept or would get bored too quickly. We also had to bring our own containers and I didn’t know what to use, but then Nate suggested the kids halloween buckets which was a great idea. Evelyn did a good job. She was very careful to only pick red strawberries but she also liked to jump around the rows so I can’t say we cleared any one section very well. Jameson did better than I expected. He picked some green strawberries, but he filled up his bucket and stayed within the rows. I think his favorite part was whenever we saw a tractor.
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.
