Revisiting an old photo taken at a place called Frying Pan Park, not too far from us. It seems a long time since we went there, and I only remembered it when I found the photo in my archives. It's fun to walk around. It depicts farming life from the 1920s to the 1950s. It has a working farm, live farm animals, a playground, country store, wagon rides and an antique carousel. There is also a visitor center and family concerts are held throughout the year. You can see several photos from our other visits here. It would be nice to go back sometime this year.
Looks like an interesting farm,
ReplyDeletegenerally with visits like this you have fun and learn things!
Have a nice day Denise!
Thank you Katerina, I think so and you are correct, it's always a learning experience. You have a nice day also :)
DeleteThe link is not working for me. When I click it, it just takes me back here again. But this sounds like a great place! I'll check in again tomorrow to see if it works then. I'll comment again either way.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found it working Ginny :) We never know! I'm not sure why it kicks right back to the post above, instead of just starting from the second post. I certainly can understand how confusing it can be.
DeleteFrying Pan Park? That's such an unusual name. What fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is an unusual name I agree :) I wrote about it in my post below:

Thanks Kay :)
I hope you can go back - and take us with you.
ReplyDeleteI have it on my list for this summer Sue. Fingers crossed I don't forget I said I was going to go back ;)
DeleteWonder where that name came from?
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, I just wrote a comment to Kay above with a link if you'd like to take a look. I was happy to find I had researched it in one of my posts :)
DeleteA country charm oozing through
ReplyDeleteThat's a great description Roentare, thank you :)
DeleteA step back to the past can be very refreshing.
ReplyDeleteVery much so, thanks Janice :)
DeleteSounds like a fun place to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, I always enjoyed it when we were there. It's fun to see the farm animals :)
DeleteA cute name for a farm...
ReplyDeleteI agree, thank you Angie :)
DeleteLove the photo, cute goat. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, I was glad I got the goat in frame. Looking forward to your critter meme tomorrow. I'll be over :)
DeleteI worked on a farm on weekends and during holidays when I was a boy and it’s amazing how the passage of time confers nostalgia on what was very hard work.
ReplyDeleteVery hard work indeed David. It's great that you had that experience. Our son's grandfather took him and one of his cousins to the family homestead when they were young. They both have very special memories from those days :)
Deletesweet little goat, love the big tractor. I have held a few baby goats and they weight next to nothing
ReplyDeleteNow that would have been lovely. I have held a couple of lambs in my time but many, many years ago :)
DeleteI love "the old ways" kind of living...nostalgic.

Donna
I agree, very much so :) sending hugs :)
DeleteTo me, there is not much better than the old, down to earth farm life. Hard, yet rewarding work.
ReplyDeleteYes, totally! :)
DeleteThat would be pretty cool to see IRL. Love the photo with the tractor and goat.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun place, thank you :)
DeleteWonderful!

ReplyDeleteHappy you think so, thank you Ellen :)
DeleteBoth of our uncles were farmers...this photo brought back lots of memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday
Cecilia
That's wonderful Cecilia and so glad these brought back such good memories :) Happy Thursday to you also.
DeleteI wonder how it got its name?
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie, I don't think anyone knows for sure but if you look here I do give an explanation :)

That is a place I would like to visit.
ReplyDeleteI believe you would really enjoy it Rose :)
DeleteI love that name! Such fun.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, thank you Jenn :)
DeleteThat is a cool photo. I appreciate the farmers in every state. They work so hard and provide a wonderful harvest for the people. I especially enjoy hearing about the farmers back in the 1800's, my favorite era.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Totally agree Sheri, we owe them so much that we will never be able to thank enough for all that hard work they do. Glad you enjoyed :)
DeleteIt sounds like a lovely place to visit.
