Halloween at the zoo

Yesterday was fall break for Evelyn but the weather did not look promising for any fun activity. So we went to Bible study, ran to Meijer, came home, had lunch, did laundry and despite looking like rain and the forecast still predicting rain it wasn't really raining. But it was warm outside and so I decided sure let’s go trick-or-treating at the zoo.


The zoo was so empty which actually was kind of sad because it meant there weren’t as many cute kids in costume.  The warm weather meant Evelyn and Jameson didn’t need coats or hats or mittens which was really nice. They both wore shorts under their costumes. 


Jameson wanted to be Captain America this year and lucky him, we found a (way too big) Captain America costume at Goodwill. Nate bought him the mask at work. 


Evelyn scored Anna’s coronation dress from Goodwill too. 



The Halloween decorations were so much fun to see again this year. A good number of animals were still out too. 



And free carousel rides.

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.
