Family photos below.
Mother and Daddy loved taking family vacations. These photos are labeled in the 1956 folder of the photo album. I was born in late August, so this trip must have been taken in the fall of 1956. It appears in one photo that Mother is holding me, wrapped in a blanket. Bryan would have been about 10 years old, and Paula would have been 6 years old.
I was curious as I did not know any information on the location of these photos. And upon researching the internet, I learned much about this place. It is located in Cache, Oklahoma. I can definitely see this as a place where Mother and Daddy would have wanted to take their children. We also visited Craterville theme park, located not far from the Holy City. The lake pictures were labeled as Lake Kickapoo, but they do not look like the terrain around that lake. My guess would be that this lake is somewhere in the Wichita Mountains.
Here is a link to the Holy City of the Wichitas.

It appears to be the ruins of an ancient city, but it was constructed in 1926 as a place to perform the Passion Play. It was very popular in the 1930s.
