Sunbathing
Michael probably laid on that towel for about one nano-second.
But I have captured it through the magic of photography.
I think the other kids had laid out their towels to dry in the sun and some of them laid down to get warm after being in the cool pool for so long. Mikey is great at joining in so he did it too. I had to get a picture because it was super cute, but almost none of our summer was spent lying around.
That’s just not how we roll, as much as I wish it was!
