Victorian Times 2
A continuing series of photos featuring my Victorian family. They were all taken to become additions to two Victorian Family albums under construction at the time, so are just some simple scenes, and not intended to be complete stories.
Pet Day
Eric, Nyssa, and their friends wanted a group photo taken of them with all their pets, so they gathered on the patio...

At the Golf Course
One lovely spring day, Eric and his friends headed over to the golf course to play a round of golf...
Going for a Walk
Steve and Iris enjoyed taking baby Sena for a stroll in the evenings.
The fresh air made her sleep better.
Which meant they'd all get a better night's sleep.

Babysitting
Lisa was great with children, and she would often babysit the little girl next door...

Dolls and Trains
On rainy days the children were stuck inside, but iris didn't mind if they took over the entire parlour with their toys....
Nyssa's friend Elin always liked to come over and play with her dolls.
But this afternoon, Eric was busy laying out his train set with his friend Bordy...
and Elliot, Elin's little brother.
But Nyssa was more interested in the nice village the boys had laid out...
Elliot and Bordy didn't mind...

But that left Elin alone with Nyssa's dolls. ..
But she didn't mind either, since then she had all of Nyssa's dolls to herself...
Quiet Evenings Together
With spring came longer evenings, and after dinner Steve and Iris would often go out to the park with little Sena..
She loved her Daddy, and missed him during the days when he was at work...
He missed her too...
...and it gave them a chance to spend some time together...
Spring Blossoms
A few photos of Nyssa and her doll with the pink crabapple blossoms
Drawing Dinosaurs
One day their family went to see the huge 'dinosaur' skull that had been discovered on the beach.
Their parents had let them choose a small dinosaur model from the souvenir stand, and when they got home, they thought it would be fun to draw some pictures of what they thought they might have looked like...
No one knew what dinosaurs actually looked like back in Victorian times, so they had to use their imagination....

|
Their cousin Coco was the first to finish...
"What do you think?"
"It looks interesting."
Then Eric proudly held up his drawing....
Both Nyssa and Coco stared at the picture in surprise ....
"So, you really think that's what this dinosaur might have looked like?"
"Well, you said to use our imagination."
Babysitting Money
Lisa had been saving up her babysitting money for some time, and her piggy bank was full.
So she went to see her father at the bank to open a savings account...
He knew her piggy bank was important to her
..and managed to remove all her money without breaking it.
"So, you want to open a savings account?"
"Yes, please."
So she took off her hat, and they started to sort and count the coins...
Steve was impressed with this industrious daughter. "You've done really well saving all this up."
Then Lisa watched...
as her Dad recorded the amount in a brand new little pass book...
"Here you go young lady."
"This little booklet is your own personal pass book. And each time you bring in more money, or take some out, we'll record it, so you know exactly how much money you have in your account."
Lisa put on her hat, picked up her piggy bank, and got ready to leave...
"Thank you Papa. Now I just need to go earn some more money, and then I'll be back."
