A couple of photos from the picnic at http://test.thekrib.com/picnic.zipI actually think it was a pretty successful day for me when I barely even pulled out the camera, except to get some macros of the Ammania flowers. I was either talking with folks or chasing one of my kids.
We all had a great time, btw. We really appreciated that Shango was right on that grill, and the kids got to eat lunch at lunchtime.
We went home with our koi fry, and while the kids and Mom napped, I poured the contents into an acrylic holding cube and removed every piece of duckweed with tweezers and a small spoon (see attached photo of one fry). And then we did something that we haven't done in perhaps 8 years -- we started a new tank. While pondering over which existing tank was empty enough to do the koi, Markus (the 4-year-old) said "let's fill the [empty] hexagon tank with water like you said I could do some time". So we did. We're acclimating it with krib fry, but when the koi get big enough, they will have a hexagonal home.
