Photo-Hunt Childhood
This weeks theme is CHILDHOOD. You can join the photo hunt by going
The theme this week is CHILDHOOD and I thought about using a photo of my kids or grandkids. Instead I found this one of ME!. I remember this lazy summer day. I was 9 and living in Georgia. My dad was in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii at the time. Mom had gone home to her family with us kids. A few months later President John F. Kennedy was shot, we practiced air raid drills at school and life slowly changed. Aww the innocence of childhood.

I remember using sprinklers to cool off with! What a fun photo.
Great picture! It looks like a perfect summer day :)
great memory, isn't it? :) thanks for stopping by and have a good week end!
Great photo. This theme is stimulating some good memories
Looks like a really hot day. :)
Great photo from your childhood. It looks like you were having fun with the hose!
Ah yes, the innocence of childhood. Great photo!
Life was so much simpler back then even though it probably didn't seem like it the adults. Great picture with some great memories!
Gosh, that sure brings back memories of cooling off with the hose when I was a child:-) Often times I wish we could go back to our childhood and its innocent ways! xox
What a fun photo! 1963 wasn't a great year in the fall, that's for sure. I don't remember too much, only my mom staring at the Zenith for days on end.
This was a year after my brother was born so I would have been 10 and just moved from Virginia to Indiana. The day JFK was shot is one of those burned in memories along with the shuttle disasters and 9/11. Every generation has its loss of innocence moments... each seems worse than the previous.
I feel the spray! What a terrific image. Thanks.
Very neat picture of you! Thanks for sharing - and the history too!
Mine's up!
I was 3 going on 4 when President Kennedy got shot.
Over at my blog there a picture of me taken about the same time as yours but in winter and if you notice there a little bit of snow on the ground.
Hi Autumn. Sorry for my late visit. Thanks for sharing this memorable photo of your childhood. It must have been fun playing with the water on a summer day.
It must have been a scary time when JFK time.
Thanks for visiting my photo hunt. Take care!
