The summer of my German Soldier

Here is a random image. Look how adorable Mia is in her little ballerina outfit. And Bill got new shorts. Plaid is in again, you know. Especially with Quicksilver. He got some Topsiders too and actually wore them……when he walked out of the bedroom with his Crocs on, I threatened him with grave bodily harm if he was even seriously considering that sad ensemble.

Does anyone see anything else special about this photo? Anything that simply, you know, contradicts anything involving water and sand……because it is not like we are surrounded by water and sand or anything.
