Let's Play Ball! - Jul 1945 |
Along with the couple they were with, the two lovebirds decided to take a break from watching the animals and their sometimes-crazy antics and do a little playing around themselves. With a lovely picnic grove on the grounds, they had the perfect setting for this silly baseball game.

Now we see where your sense of humor comes from!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Thanks, Wendy!
DeleteI wish I had some candid photos of my parents in their dating days. Fun!
ReplyDeleteCandid photos are the most fun. I'm so glad I found them!
DeleteThese are definitely cute photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara! They were definitely a cute couple.
DeleteSeeing parents having fun together - especially being silly - is a great experience when you're young. Most especially when you're on your way to growing up and realize you don't have to leave silliness and fun behind. You can have silly fun your whole life! :) But is that a cigarette in your Dad's hand in the first photo?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a cigarette in his hand. Not a good habit or one my mother condoned, but back in the 40s, no one knew about the dangers of smoking. My dad smoked most of his life...from the time he was a young kid right up until he had a stroke at the age of 75.
DeleteHow fun to have these photos of your parents larking around and looking so happy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pauleen. I just love these photos!
DeleteI love photos where people are mucking up. It's nice to see them having a laugh. Hoorah! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alex! I really love these photos, too!
