Camping day 3

 Saturday night was cold. I didn’t sleep very well. Sunday morning we went back for coffee and cocoa with the camp hosts. The naturalist also had watercolor painting for the kids. 


The naturalist recommended for a 2.5 mile hike around 5 sinkholes which we thought sounded like lots of fun. The sinkholes did not look like what we expected (more like big ravines) but it was a fun hike. There are steps to walk down into the first sinkhole and then lookouts for some of the others. We also saw a porcupine! We must of scared it as it was climbing up a tree. 





The plan was to get lunch after the hike, but the restaurant we picked wasn’t opening till 2. We decided not to wait and just eat snacks before swimming in the Ocqueoc falls. It was a warm day but the falls weren’t busy and the water was very refreshing. We swam and climbed around on the rocks. We slipped a lot but no one got hurt. And the naturalist was there with information about sinkholes so we got all our questions from the hike answered.








Everyone was tired once we arrived back at camp.  We made hobo pies for dinner and had a big fire to finish out our last night.

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.
