Happy Birthday Jake!!!

I am a little late posting this--his real birthday was June 3rd. He had some friends over for a air-soft gun war. He received a new gun for his birthday and lots of ammo. They went up to a meadow on the mountain nearby and they had a great time. The hardest part of the birthday party was that I had to climb the mountain and find them to bring them down for cake and ice cream. :)
