Vacation day 1

 Last Saturday we left for our camping vacation.  First stop was Lake Erie State Park in Brocton, New York. It was so hot and humid! We set up the screen tent first and then found the swim bag and drove to  the nearest beach.  The park did have lake access but we didn’t find it at first and after we did, the public beach we found was nicer. 


Evelyn and Jameson have swam in Lake Erie before, but it was back in 2019 so they don’t remember.  These goal of these two days of camping was to say we’ve camped on and swam in Lake Erie. 


After swimming we tried to stay cool at the campsite. Evelyn and Jameson browsed through a magazine trying to find a fun activity for the next day. We didn’t have a fire because it was so hot and we kept the rain fly off the tent. 


After dinner, we found the park’s beach.  Good for walking along and skipping stones. 


Jameson tried his hand at fishing on Lake Erie before bed.

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.
