Here we are in our swim suits, ready to go to the local beach, which we did every chance we got. In this photo, our parents still had to drive us over, but within a couple of years, we were able to ride our bikes over the old bridge and go to the beach ourselves. It was only about a mile and a half away, and we could ride on the sidewalk going over the bridge. Did we ever wear sunscreen?? Only when our mom made us, and the only things available were Coppertone and Sea and Ski - both rather ineffective. My brother spent his entire young life with a blistered nose healing from a sunburn. I just got red all over. It took me many years to learn that redheads just don't tan easily, if at all. They just get more freckles, and then skin cancers later on.
