Photo coincidence

Some years ago, me,my family of four children and my husband travelled to Florida and stayed in a villa near Disney World. We picked up our hire van at Sandford Airport and spent the next two weeks visiting the sights. Just before we left, my son found a disposable camera under one of the seats in the van. It didn't belong to us and my son decided to take it apart to find out how it worked. I put the film in my bag and forgot all about it. Two or three years later, I found several undeveloped films lying in a cupboard. They were from cameras used by the children and I decided to get them developed. The collection of over-exposed and out of focus pictures were fairly unremarkable. As I opened the last packet of photos, I was pleased to find pictures of Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida. Looking more closely, I was surprised to see children who I didn't recognise, swimming in a pool similar to the one at our villa. I then found a photo of a family group standing by the globe outside Universal Studios and the mother was a lady, Anna, who worked with me as a teaching assistant at a primary school! I showed the pictures to my daughters and they recognised the children as fellow pupils from their secondary school! It seems that Anna and her family had visited Florida two months before us and had a similar hire van. The most amazing fact was that Anna didn't start working at the school until the September after the holidays, so if I'd had the film developed straight away, I wouldn't have recognised her!
