Decatur

We took a short weekend trip to Decatur to visit Mimi.  On Saturday Mimi took us to the children's museum.  Evelyn and Jameson had a blast.  Their favorite part was the air tubes that moved the balls and then shot them back out.


Everyone loved the pin art.



There was a water table, a pretend car mechanic, and two levels all about police officers and first responders.



They also really enjoyed this building area that had a small playground.


Outside there was even more stuff.  A giant bubble table.


A real helicopter.


And a real fire truck.  It was a great way to spend the morning.


After the museum we headed downtown to pick up caramel apples and popcorn from Del's.


Then it is was a quick trip to the garden before heading home to relax.  Sunday we went to church, had lunch, and then hit the road.  


We got stuck in traffic just outside of Indianapolis.  The highway was shut down for over an hour while they cleared up an accident so we didn't get home till late, but it was worth it for the visit.

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.
