Ibantik Lake Backpacking Trip
Jake, Drew and I had an awesome weekend in the Uinta mountains. We backpacked into Ibantik Lake, stayed overnight, tried to catch some fish, and enjoyed our time together.

Jake’s summer business: Lawn Rangers
In the summer of 2014, Jake started his own business. He started edging lawns and got several neighbors interested. So, Jake plunged in. We had an old edger that Manina bought from a yard sale.
