It is cleaning out the camera time. Here are a few photos that aren’t recent but did recently come off the camera. Enjoy!
Nora has recently taken an interest in photography and is on her first Nikon camera. It is a small automatic model with a nice lens and still plenty of features. It arrived a few days ago and she’s been taking pictures around the house. Yesterday we woke up before dawn to hike out in the jebels for a photo safari.
This is the very last Egypt gallery so enjoy!

In the spirit of clearing off the backlog of photos here is another gallery from the last few months.
Kai and Nora recently did an overnight with Grandma and Grandpa Jacobsa nd we met up the next day at the Farmer’s Market in Baron.
Here are a few random pictures of early summer vacation. Hanging out by the fire and taking selfies on the boat.
Here is one of the first galleries from summer vacation. Crystal was still working in London so the kids and I travelled over on our own and had the first few days to ourselves.
Several years ago Crystal had the brilliant idea to take the kids to a baseball game and we landed on the Duluth Huskies at Wade Stadium in West Duluth. Since then it has been a cherished summer ritual to take in a game, overdo it at the concession stands, get a picture with Harley Husky and then the kids go through the line of players to get a baseball or a shirt signed by the team.
Whenever the team wins they end the game with the crowd singing “Sweet Caroline” and we’ve heard it every year, except this one. Still, a fun time by any measure.
