This charming 16mm Kodachrome home movie from the 1940s shows delightful images of two young boys, almost certainly twins, playing together. They are probably 2-3 years old in this film.

At the 8:10 mark you will see a ferry on what appears to be a large lake or river. 

At 11:40, the boys are at a farmhouse in the winter and do some sledding. 

At 15:20 they are on the swings.
