First trip in October to the Folk Park......

I absolutely love the Ulster Folk and Transport museum and when we moved closer to it in the summer, we decided to take out the yearly pass. I think this is Finley and my second time and he has been with his mum a few times as well.

It's a great safe zone for him to be able to play and explore and while he's still very young, some of the history and delight will sink into his memory.


My little Diamond with his namesake road sign.


At this stage I think Finley was getting tired of the near constant photos I have been taking of him.


They started them young in school back in the day.


A shout out to the world in general.


Finley had great fun playing with all the old equipment around the park.


One of the wonderful houses they have rebuilt. There was a lot of activity around the day we went and the houses had their fires on which was great to get warmed up before Finley was on the move again


Finley on the move again.


Finally got to see the forge in action after all the times I've been. We stayed for quite awhile here as Finally was intrigued by all the goings on and the man working the fire was telling us all about the iron works and the items that he had made. All of which were to go on sale in their shop the next day.

We're already looking forward to our next visit, which hopefully won't be too long away.
