  • We made it through another week, so unwind with a new round of #PhotoIDFriday! 🕵️‍♂️📸

This mystery photo features a scribble naming the adult male as "Jimmy Roberts.” But that leaves us with a few questions: ❓ Who is Jimmy Roberts? ❓ Who are the children? ❓ When, where, and why was this moment captured?

If you have any clues, let us know in the comments!
