Strawberry U-pick

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.

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.
