We officially marked Jake’s birthday on Sunday with family. He blew out seventeen candles.

He opened presents, surrounded by a fan club.

Here was the wrapping paper from one of the presents.

Sam was inspired by watching Jake’s water polo game the day before.

He played with one of his presents outside.

Derek joined him. Neither boy was the least bit bothered by the rain.

While Jake was out with his bow, others in the family played with the slingshot present.
