Jude riding through the sprinklers on the way back from soccer camp

Jude had Challenger Sports this week, the regular soccer camp he has been in several times before. This was the Wash Park version so he could ride his bike every day which was handy. Anna had a new camp, 2-4-1 Sports and she absolutely loved it, saying it was the best camp ever. The idea behind it is that you can choose multiple sports to do during the week (their theme is “life is 2 short 4 just 1 sport). Anna chose tennis, soccer and universal which included archery, flag rugby, golf and volleyball.

Jude wanted to make some money this summer so for several weeks we had been discussing what he should do. When I suggested we buy some drinks at Costco and then sell them at the base of a 14er he loved that idea.

On Saturday, Jude and I were up early making a sign, getting ice and packing everything into coolers. We drove to the base of Grays Peak arriving about 10am where, as I suspected, there was a great parking spot as the really early risers were leaving already. We had our store ready to go about half an hour later and started selling our ice cold water and Gatorade. We worked for just over two hours netting $99 in revenue (including tips) and about $68 in profit. Most importantly, Jude loved the experience and wants to do it again some time.

While Jude and I were away Anna and Marcy got to work on some odd jobs around the house. Anna was a big helper with spackling and some painting. Anna enjoyed helping out there. We had a relaxing afternoon and a lovely dinner on our back deck.

Today, I watched the British Open golf with Jude in the morning and then this afternoon I went for a run with Jude and then Anna, Jude and I played putt putt golf. We capped the weekend off with my favorite, a night out for sushi.
