Yesterday, Anna had her first day of refereeing. She had three games in the morning refereeing for U9 and U10 boys. She enjoyed it and did really well. One of the parents even complimented her on doing a great job. So, she will be doing this most Saturdays until the end of the season now.

At the Broncos vs Ravens game

Today Jude and I went to the Broncos game. It was a gorgeous day so we rode our bikes down to the stadium. The Broncos were a bit outmatched by the Ravens so we did not have a win but it was fun to see Lamar Jackson in action.
