The Year of the Jake

Jake has had a great year so far. Here are some pictures:

Hanging out in the back yard at Grandma & Grandpa Lewis' house.

Sitting in a tree in front of our house in Monterey.

Jacob earned the Webelos badge and was awarded the Arrow of Light before moving up to Boy Scouts.

In the corral at the Spencer ranch in Carmel Valley.

Jake visited the grave of his 5th Great Grandfather, Tarlton Lewis, in Teasdale, Utah.

Dancing on the edge of a cliff behind Grandma Raynes' cabin near Teasdale. That's right: dancing...on a cliff!

Taking a break during a long, hot hike in Capitol Reef National Park.

Peeking out from a cave in a canyon wall at Capitol Reef.

Jake and Sam spend as much time together as possible. I don't know which one loves it more.

Sailing on the Nile. Ahoooy!

In the pool near our house in Cairo. One of his favorite stunts is to stand on Dad's shoulders to jump into the deep end.

Reading to Sam on the couch.

Jake: You're the man!
