Caption: “We have really enjoyed your various vintage photos of children on horses, in carts pulled by goats, airplanes, etc., and thought you might like to see these family photos of my parents, Carl Carlson and Marguerite (Colquhoun) Carlson.
“The little boy on the donkey is my dad, Carl Carlson, with his sister Agnes standing beside him. This is around 1914, when Dad was about 4 years old. I think it was taken at their home on Williams Hill in St. Paul.
“The picture with the cart pulled by a goat has my mom, Marguerite (Colquhoun) Carlson, and her bigger cousin Gladys Velin. This was about 1915, with Mom about 1-1/2 years and Gladys at 3-1/2 years.
“The little girl in the car is my mom — probably taken around 1917, with Mom about 3 years old.
“They were all taken by door-to-door photographers who brought their props for these cute photos.
“Hope you enjoy our family treasures.”
