Derek registered for a football camp at USAFA months ago. At the time, we did not think Jake would be able to come home for the summer, so they planned to connect while Jim and Derek were out there. As it turned out, Jake did come home–at the same time Derek and Jim flew out west.

They were trading places.

So while Derek was touring the locker rooms,

the field,

and having his picture taken in front of a green screen,

Jake (and the rest of us) went into the city for dinner at my mom and dad’s and swimming in the pool.

It was a good day for all.
