When we arrived at our destination, I started to put together our outdoor chairs.
I usually do it myself since they're too complicated for my 11-year-old son.
Annoyed by the poles, I suddenly heard a "click" sound. When I looked up, Laurens' 8-year-old son had already set it up, not taking longer than 20 seconds.
But still, I knew setting up our outdoor chairs would be worth it.
I mean, if their chairs were so small and easy to set up, then they must surely be uncomfortable?
But after 15 minutes of battling with my poles, I was more exhausted than I'd been for the whole walk.
And that's the easy part compared to putting it back into its bag...
At the same time, they were sipping on their drinks, looking fully recovered from our walk.
So I asked Lauren if I could borrow one of their chairs to try, and it wasn't what I expected..
