Summer Manatee

"The manatee days of summer? This little amigurumi manatee plushy is lounging around on his pool floaty, enjoying his summer vacation and soaking in some sun. Summer is the epitome of relaxation as he floats along on his awesome striped inner tube with these groovy shades. I LOVE being at the pool in the summer, but I am not a water person. I would much rather float than swim. Summer and I have a lot in common. I know, manatees don’t need a floaty, but I couldn’t help picturing a cool friend to float with me at the pool. "
