While we were in upstate New York last week, we found a cozy little park where we stopped, ate lunch, and played on the old-time playground equipment. While the slide and see saws and merry-go-round wouldn’t stand a chance in Montgomery County, Maryland, where I am right now, they sure brought me back to my own childhood days playing at the park.
And there was only one skinned knee out of 14. I think we did pretty well.

That looks like a really fun playground, we don’t have those types of things at parks around here! I guess they consider them too dangerous these days. :(
Bring back memories for me too.
I absolutely LOVE these photos. Great memories!
We have a merry go round like that down the end of our street. The kids love taking turns riding and pushing it around. We have see saws, too, though they’re older and a bit heavy for the little ones.
How fun is that!!!! I have not seen one of those in forever.
More playgrounds need merry-go-rounds and see saws. It’s a shame our kids don’t know how to skirt danger like we did. I love that you took a moment to play like we did in the good ol’ days. :-)
I love that old school playground equipment.
What a fun little park, looks like the kids LOVED it!! :)
LOVE the pictures of the Merry-go-round!
You seriously never see them around here anymore! I guess too much of the old equipment has been deemed too “dangerous”, which makes me kind of sad because it was SO fun!
I LOVE these pictures! You have given me some inspiration for family pics! How cool. :)
Oh my goodness, that merry go round is a flashback–those things always made me sick!
That last picture makes such a great shot of the whole family – you’ll have to edit yourself in! :) Will I see you at BlogHer?
One of our local parks has a merry-go-round just like that one. It terrifies me with my 4-year goes on it, but he as so much fun.
Love that first shot! I especially love that your husband is running alongside with his camera. Too cute! :)
How awesome. I remember playgrounds like that… they are hard to find these days!
Fun! Teeter totters totally remind me of my childhood, too!
