Yolanda, the eldest child, wearing a dress with bows in her hair, is pushing her little brother, Dexter, on a swing. Dexter is wearing plaid overalls and white shoes. Martin III is featured mid-swing, wearing a light shirt and dark pants. Dr. King stands on the right of the swing set, wearing a suit without the jacket, with his hand in his pocket.
