Late Afternoon in the Backyard Pool

Or so I imagine.

"This One Is For Granny"

 

OK, there's some hints that this could be a Christmas photo, but, dammit, it looks hotter than my summers.

Always a great cliche to have the kids dress up as cowboys and smile for granny.

Bill and Bo Lambert Roch

 

I know it's not Christmas, but...so what?

The slide says "Bill & Bob Lambert Roch", but disappointingly, I can't find any definite hit information on Google. So, it's anyone's guess what these two scamps grew up to become.
