The boys are packing their swimsuits as Gregoropolis decides to

take a late summer vacation.

We'll be back in a couple of weeks!

Sculpture Garden

The boys have invited new boy Philip Guy on a tour of his new home.  They've started investigating the statuary populating the nooks and crannies of the backyard...

Philip Guy: Whoa! That lady is all kinds of naked!

Stephen Orange:  Her name is Ceres; she's the Roman goddess of agriculture.

Philip: Guess a garden is a good place for her, then.

Philip: Another naked lady?  What is Daddy Steve's deal?

Scot-Michael: Daddy John often wonders that himself.

Nicholas Sahara: We've nicknamed this charming little fellow Wilbur!  

Like in that book, 'Chocolate's Web.'

Scot-Michael: Charlotte's Web.

Nicholas:  'Charlotte?' Are you quite sure?

Scot-Michael: Oh yes.

Nicholas: Bless my soul...that makes much more sense.

Stephen Orange: And here's Apollo, the Greek god of archery and the sun.

Scot-Michael: He's the biggest statue, so he's the guardian of the garden.

Nicholas:  The 'guardener', you might say.

Philip: >groan<

Stephen Orange: Daddy Johm likes to occasionally dress him up.

on holidays; like the 4th of July...

Philip: Hey!  A Buddha!  Cool.

Every garden should have a Buddha.

Stephen Orange: There's actually an interesting religious riddle about Buddha.

It goes: "If you see the Buddha on the side of the road..."

Scot-Michael: ...offer to call Triple-A for him?

Stephen Orange: ...You know, you're not as funny as you think you are.
