Friday, September 18 – On Friday, we drove to Crystal Lake (our old hometown) for a tour. The first photo is at a park that was called Walkup’s Woods when we lived there, then renamed “Veterans’ Acres”. To be honest, I don’t know if that’s still the name, but we, of course, will always refer to it as “Walkup’s Woods”. The pond is where I learned to ice skate. There used to be a warming house with a pot-bellied stove where I spent a lot of time thawing our my frozen toes!
I remember that pond well. Mom and Dad would drive us there often in the winter and I loved ice skating on that pond. It's where I taught myself how to skate backward cross-overs! It looks a little overgrown nowadays...
