Kids

I always love vintage photos of kids. They generally make much more natural (i.e., less guarded) subjects than do adults.

 Halloween party, possibly Children's Hospital
  
 Kiddies in wading pool
  
 Kids eating
  
 Kids in Boston Common Frog Pond, 1940s
  
 Kids sledding on underwater ice in Charlestown, 1921
  
 Little boy and collie
  
 Little girl with umbrella
[these captions sure are prosaic, aren't they?]
  
 New sprinkling device used by the city of Boston for the kids on hot days, 1921
  
 Pie eating contest
  
Two children with dog
