    Funny that the kids have bare feet, but the adults don't.

    I love the umbrellas - as though it's about to rain!

    So many things have changed since that time but we still love having fun at the beach.

    They *are* umbrellas too. Perhaps they couldn't afford parasols. It's strange how no one's actually in the water, just paddling. It's easy to forget a lot of people couldn't swim back then.
