We drove from Columbus this afternoon and pulled into Pittsburgh and went straight to the Phipps Conservatory Botanical Garden to see the train exhibit before they change exhibits after Sunday.
Do you ever throw a coin in a wishing well or a fountain and make a wish?
Here is Michael making his coin splash, thinking about his wish.
He told me to wait to take the picture as he was thinking about his wishes carefully. I was scrounging around in the bottom of my purse pockets for coins.
Charlie made a splash, too.
I was trying to get the moment of impact on the water.
Here are the trains.
I hope all their wishes come true!
What a lovely family day!
Children have a fascination with wishing wells. It seems to me that they still believe that their wish will come true. Great photos, Ruth!
Sweet photos.
Yes- I do make a wish. But I try to wish for something which can truest happen.
Sweet series of photos! And the flowers are so beautiful! What fun for Charlie to have an older caring cousin!!!!
What a fun afternoon, beautifully documented in your images.
Thanks Audrey. These moments help us through the difficult times.
This looks like a nice day out.
When I was a child the local shopping mall had a wishing fountain; I frequently tossed a coin in there.
