Our three boys were delighted with their first opportunity to take a bubble bath. As you can tell, Maverick, 5, Mitchell, 7, and Macallan, 3, jumped head-first into the bubbles with no reservations. Their sister Jovie, 1, was much more reserved and observant.” Read more about Focus on Woodbury: Bathtime is Lots of Fun
