Albert would often take Estella’s family along with them for outings on their dates. No one in Estella’s immediate family had a car, so it was a welcome event when they could all go together for a picnic or trip. About 1927 or 1928 a large group of friends and relatives went together for an outing in the park. Perhaps Avie De Keyser or one of their friends also had a car because there were at least eight of them in the group that day, which would be a big group even for Al’s big touring car.
