Working one whole is hard, especially when both my boys were sick too! We have enjoyed our much needed 3 day weekend! Friday evening we ate our weekly Schlotzsky's. Jackson fell asleep early, so he and Tim did not get to go to the Midnight Flight with me. I have been training all summer with First Flight to get ready for this 5k. Some other teachers and I got to cheer on some of our students in the 1 mile. There were some little kids racing with their parents. It was too cute!Then it was our turn to race. The weather has been really cool, but the humidity has really cranked up. It was miserably muggy outside. I started out really good. I made it the first mile and half with no problems. Then the hard part. The last mile was uphill. Just when you think you are at the top, you realize you still have a ways to go. I had to walk 30 seconds once I reached the top, but the encouragement from another First Flighter helped get started again. I finished strong. My mom and dad, and Whitney and Brent were there at the finish line. I finished in 32:13 which I was pretty happy with. It would have been 31 something if I hadn't stopped. I had a great time, and I felt so good afterwards. Next year, my goal will be to make it under 30.
On Saturday we headed to the Downtown Market. With football games and my classes, we might not get back there this season. We got some bread and peach salsa. We ate breakfast at William's Hardware where Jackson loved the pancakes. What else is new? Then we headed up to Flat Rock, NC to go apple picking at Sky Top orchard. We had never been there. It was so crowded, but so fun! We walked all through the orchards, picked some apples, saw the animals, and went to the store. It was so HOT! Jackson enjoyed the animals and the apple cider slushy. You can go on hayrides too, but we skipped it since it was so hot. Going to Sky Top will definitely be one of our fall family traditions!
We headed to our other favorite Saturday place- Costco where we found lots of great deals. Then we headed home for naps and Clemson football. We watched the first half at my parents and then finished the game at home. What a win!
On Sunday we celebrated Brent's birthday at J. Peters. Jackson loved Brent's cookie cake. In fact, he stuffed way too much in his mouth and got made and pitched a huge fit when I pulled it out of his mouth. He was so mad at me! Don't take cookies from the cookie monster!
On Monday, we headed back to Greenville for the last Greenville Drive game of the season. We rode the trolley, and Jackson was pretty scared. We had great seats, and Jackson was entertained. However, a huge storm rolled in, and the game was delayed. We stayed, ate ice cream, and walked around. Jackson got bored though, so we watched half an inning and headed home for naps. It was probably a good thing we did because another storm rolled in once we got home! We enjoyed our long weekend.
