Happy Friday!
Great photo. When children were children . . . . and didn’t have a cell phone in their hands or computer game inside the house for entertainment. Instead, they make “soap box cars” like the one the 4 are proudly sitting on in the photo. All they need is an incline, paved or not, to race against each other. I made several in my youth.
I remember my brother made one of those!
I agree! I love how joyful and innocent and sweet they are!
The innocence of youth, recaptured!
Yes, exactly!
This reminds me of my brother and his buddies. Such a sweet picture of innocent days.
A very summery, happy picture!
