Jude about to head off to Windy Peak for two weeks

Today, we did something we had never done before. We sent both kids off to camp on the same day. For the next two weeks Anna is going to be at Geneva Glen and Jude will be at  Windy Peak. Yes, both kids will be away at the same time, the first time that has ever happened.

Anna ready to head off for two weeks at Geneva Glen

We dropped Anna off first as she was on the way to Jude’s camp. It was quite the process with all the Covid protocols but we were out of there in 30 minutes. Jude’s was a little easier and by 4pm it was just us and Olive. We decided to do a late afternoon hike and we discovered the Colorado Trail ran right by Jude’s camp so we did a two hour hike there.

Jude and the victorious Rapids burgundy team (he is in the front, third boy from the right)

Jude has been playing on the white level Rapids team for some time. He is now one of the best players on the team and he has been wanting to go up to the next level for some time. The call up finally came this week. He was invited to practice with the burgundy team and then play in their season ending tournament this weekend.

He made the most of his opportunity getting better with each game. This morning, the third game, he set up the game winning goal and it was great to hear all the parents yelling out, “Great job Jude!” Needless to say, he was very satisfied with his performance and he hopes he has done enough to earn a permanent spot on the team.

Anna and Daddy date at Urban Putt downtown

Anna and I used to go on date nights semi-regularly but the pandemic put a stop to that. But with Anna now fully vaccinated (well, the two weeks after the final shot is this Friday) we decided to head downtown for a date night. We rode our bikes downtown and went to a burger place, then Urban Putt for some indoor golf and finally to an ice cream place. It was a great night.
