Pool Play Date

Mikey had one of his pals over and they hung out in the pool on a hot day. Anything from kiddie pools to sprinklers can get the job done if you don’t have a backyard or community pool.

I’m so thankful for all of Mikey’s buddies! They made his childhood years warm and welcoming. They’re the best!!
