It was a time when children looked like miniature adults.


Near Kaunas, Lithuania, about 1918. My Dad's older cousins, Vytas and Henry, give horseback riding a try. I don't know who the girls are, but I assume they're sisters—like the brothers, they wear matching ensembles. Their little, booted feet don't even reach the stirrups. If I learn the girls' identity, then I will update this post.

Thanks to my Kaunas Cousin for making this photo available to us.

You were raised to carry on the family's traditions.

Family was everything back then.

We could use some of that now.

Actually, we could use a lot of that now.
