Dylan attends Brown University, so most of the year actually seems him totally away from home. Zeta-Jones gets to see more of Carys, though, who still attends high school. Having everyone together isn’t so common on the best of days, though, so that’s likely why the self-proclaimed “mamarazzi” wanted to take a nice picture with them both.
“Summer officially over in our family,” she wrote in the caption. “Today both our young adults go back to studying. In different, unprecedented ways. I love you both… And to all kids out there. Knowledge is the key to life. So battle through. This too shall pass.” The key, she emphasizes with her words and actions alike, is to look ahead to a better future to keep a positive mindset in the present. That’s why she viewed summer quarantined as a chance for a family reunion with both children at once. Carys, Dylan, best of luck in your studies!
