We spent a lot of time in the late 50's early 60's diving right in.
It usually took place at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri at a place called. . . .
Bonds cabins. We just called the place the cabins at Grand Glaze.
One week there every year for many years.
Me getting ready to jump right in.
Not sure which photos I like better -- the many dives, or that wonderful break between dives that conjure up childhood backyard barbecues. Excellent photos and well presented.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Great memories.
DeleteThe water also gave lots of joy to me and my siblings.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope it still does. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWhat a wonderful, fun collection of family photos to match the prompt perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteA lovely post of family memories and children having fun in water.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteHow lucky someone caught the divers in action. I'm sure had I been behind the camera all you would see would be the splash or maybe a blur.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Even with the cameras back then.
DeleteAh, we never got to play at the lake like that during my childhood. Maybe my mother felt she couldn't keep track of 6 kids in the water. It's a good thing we never told her about building a raft out of scrap wood and taking it out on the river.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs to swim in a lake or river at least once as a child. 6 would be hard to watch.
DeleteThose are great memories of your childhood. We went one week in the 50s to a camp on the Black River, somewhere in southern Missouri. I remember being miserable a lot of the time...I think I was already a teen, and hadn't even learned to enjoy the water. Later on in life I got over that.
ReplyDeleteBlack river is such a pretty float stream.
DeleteWell done! I can almost hear the squeals of delight and feel the splash of cool water. Now that every place can be as cool as a refrigerator with A\C, we've lost that refreshing contrast that came from a week at the lake.
ReplyDeleteNot having AC till 1970, we sure spent a lot of time outside.
DeleteLove the photo of the two kids jumping into the water. What fun they must have had!
ReplyDeleteGood memories.
