Is It Normal To Have Pale Brown Patches After A Day In The Sun?

After a day in the sun, my 8 year old son has a number of pale brown patches on his body. The largest is 2 inches in diameter, on the back of his knee. He has others scattered over his body but smaller and irregularly shaped. He is otherwise healthy and has no medical issues. Is this common?
