Nice pics, everyone! I’ve looked through mine, but since my new 2 gig photo card holds about 20 zillion pics (well, over 800 at highest resolution), I ended up taking at least three times as many as I remembered taking, so they still need some more looking. Nice photo of my butt, **Twicks**. :dubious: I don’t know how many of you caught that the younger **What Exit** offspring managed to get himself wet up to the knees in the duck fountain just prior to their departure. He _so_ reminded me of both myself and my son at that age! It was fun having a kid along to nearly fall in all the water. 😃 ---

He sure wanted to. He dried out pretty well at the aquarium. 😉 I really need to find a chance to upload some pictures. It might happen this week. Jim ---

He was really giving those tadpoles a run for their money, wasn’t he? That garden was an active little kid’s delight! ---

I was afraid the Garden Police would come along and deport her. [QUOTE=What Exit?] He dried out pretty well at the aquarium. 😉 [/QUOTE] He didn’t manage to fall in the seal pool? 😃 ---

At last, [my photos are up](http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u273/ke3om/LadewGardens/), in vivid color. (A week to get my photos sharable is pretty good by my usual practice. I still haven’t organized or filed the photos from my Y2K trip.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mads-an-outing-thats-a-cut-above-may-5th/395910.md?page=7)
