What Are We Waiting For?

I don't know, but I swear can see Ralphie's buddy Schwartz (Christmas Story) right in the middle. And I wonder who belongs to the mysterious hand holding the cigarette. There's a good chance this is in Pennsylvania. That looks like an old lime kiln in the background and southern Pennsylvania is dotted with them.

It could be Dad's Day, but is probably a father-son activity. My dad did YMCA Indian Guides with us.

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

Looks like camp visiting day for parents.
