Camping Day 3

 Monday morning we packed up and left St Ignace for Paradise and Tahquamenon Falls. Jameson busied himself by whittling Nate’s poker stick. 


After about an hour drive we arrived at Lake Superior. We stopped to get out and put our feet in the water. 


A little while later we arrived at the falls. It was too early to check into our campsite, so we made sandwiches in the parking lot and then hiked to see the lower falls. 




There’s a bridge that connects the path to an island in the river. The island has spots where you can walk into the river and play in the falls. 


We still had time before we could officially check into the campground, but we went to our site and set up our chairs. We passed the time reading and Jameson caught a toad. 


The lower falls campground had a few spots along the river where you could fish. Unfortunately we didn’t have much luck and didn’t catch anything here.

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.
