American had moved to the subburbs by the 1960s. This and the earlier nove to the cities meant that most of the country lived in nuclear families band given the mpbility of America, this was often at some distance fom the grandparents. Most American familes had cars and traditionally the whole family took off for a summer vacation. Often this meant a trip to the beach (Florida or California), national parks, historcical sights, and the grandparents. The only information we have here is that the roll of film was developed September 1968. September of course is when the kids go back to school. But it was probably taken just before in August while the family was on summer vacation. And it looks like grandad with the kids. There are four children, three boys and their older sister. They are all wearing summer vacation togs--shier pants and short sleeved tops. The younger childre wear T-shirts. The older boy weara a whire shirt. Notice how his shirt is buttined. Motice hos low-cut sneakers. In the 1950s, high-tops were more common. The baby wears white strap shoes. We are not sure just what big sister is wearing except for the sandles.
