Saugatuck day 1 and 2

 Summer is almost over.  School starts Thursday. But we had one last getaway to Michigan.  On Wednesday, we met Mimi, Oma, Grandpa, Meredith, Jeremy and Hans in Saugatuck. Katherine was right in middle of packing and moving so she was unfortunately just too busy to come up. Once everyone arrived, we ate dinner and then went to bed. 


Thursday morning we went blueberry picking. We picked so many blueberries! Jameson picked the most. 



After blueberry picking, we needed a little caffeine pick me up. This neat coffee shop had fun outdoor seating. 




Finally it was time for the beach! Hans let me carry him out into the water. Before the sand bar, where the water was deepest, Uncle Nathan took over. 


After dinner we went back to watch the sunset. 


And climb Mount Baldhead. Hans did a good job despite a steep hike to the top of the dune. 




Of course running down is the best part. 


Nate thought it’d be fun to let Evelyn and Jameson wear their swim suits and swim again. I was not thrilled. I didn’t want the extra work of wet kids and wet suits right before bed. Plus I thought maybe we’d get a nice family picture not in swim wear. But Evelyn and Jameson had so much fun swimming with Nate and Uncle Jeremy. I’m sure memories were made.

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.
