Jude all set for his two week camp

Jude has a two week camp that started today. So, much of the weekend was spent getting Jude ready to go. Marcy worked like crazy to get everything together, it was a long list. In the end Jude seemed really excited to go on his camp, which includes a three night backpacking trip. Marcy got to see his cabin where he will be staying for most of the next two weeks, it is a beautiful mountain setting.

Anna showing off her new baseball at Coors Field after the Rockies game finished

Meanwhile Anna and I rode our bikes downtown to the baseball game. We had been given free tickets from a friend and we decided to skip the first few innings so we got there halfway through the game. It was just the right amount of baseball and we included a break during the seventh inning stretch so Anna could go shopping. She bought a souvenir baseball for $7 with her own money. Then we had dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery before riding home.

Evening family tennis at the local courts

Jude decided early this past week that he wanted to go and play tennis. He and I played one night and then for the next three nights we had the whole family playing. It became a routine thing after we put Olive to bed to ride our bikes to South High School to play tennis.

Olive gets a clean bill of health from the vet

The big news this week was that Olive can now run around like a normal dog. On Tuesday, Marcy and Anna took her to the surgeon who took an x-ray of her leg and said it was healing well. She was free to run around now like a normal puppy. She has been easier to deal with as well now that she is tired out at the end of the day. And we can also start really training her again now.

I have to mention the incredible morning of sport we witnessed this morning. The cricket world cup final was probably the best game of cricket I have ever witnessed. We were sad to see New Zealand lose but what an effort by England to take the cup. And between overs I would switch over to the Wimbledon final where Federer should have really won 9-7 in the fifth. Both games ended differently to what we had hoped but it was a truly spectacular morning of sport that I will never forget.
