Jude after refereeing the son of Peyton Manning (red arrow), he meets him after the game

Jude had his third day of refereeing. He is doing U9’s, so kids born in 2011, and it just so happens that Peyton Manning’s son is playing in this league. Jude and I both saw him before the game although we didn’t bother him. But after the game Peyton walked across the field and Jude introduced himself. It was a thrill for him to meet one of the best quarterbacks of all time.

Hanging out on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder

Anna had Monday and Tuesday off school so on Tuesday she and Marcy went and got their nails done and did a trip to Boulder, where they visited the Liberty Puzzle Factory, and the Celestial Seasonings Factory as well.

Jude after the finish of his cross country race

Friday afternoon Jude had a cross country race. I went and saw him run and he did well. He wasn’t feeling 100% but he still finished in 40th place out of 100 boys in the “A” flight (including 6th-8th graders) and was the first from his school to finish.

Jude playing with Olive at the park

Saturday night we went to the DU women’s soccer game. Anna’s Skyline soccer team played a scrimmage during the half time show and then Anna and her friend Clara were ballgirls in the second half.

Today, Jude had soccer tryouts for Colorado Select, but after from that it was a pretty quiet day. He and I watched the second half of the Arsenal game, a little bit of the Broncos game and then he had about three hours of homework to do. Marcy and I put the ping pong table together (Marcy did most of the work) and the four of us played on it just before bed.
