"Happy birthday @aquinnah_fox and @schuyler_fox!! I'm truly running low on photos to use for these, so here's a fairly random duology of images featuring Schuyler in the foreground and Aquinnah in the background! I believe the locations are 1. A mountain in Vietnam and 2. An airport bar in Salt Lake City," he quipped.
Their mom Tracy chimed in with a comment of her own, writing: "You should ask me!!! Happy birthday girlies!" while all his other followers were delighted by his choice of candid photos.

4. Fatal flight avoided
Michael was due to fly on the Air France Concorde which crashed shortly after take off from Paris in 2000, killing all 109 people on board. He later reported he chose to wait an extra day to fly back to the US from the French capital with his family.
