A Visit to the Missouri Botanical Garden

We discovered that the Botanical Garden offers free admission on Wednesday mornings from 7-9 AM.  Well, if it is free...it's for me (and my family).  Dennis, Olivia, Ethan and I strolled leisurely around the beautiful gardens all morning long.

From May 26-August 19, the Botanical Gardens are celebrating with a Lantern Festival.  According to their website you can "Experience one of China's most treasured events and ancient traditions this summer as the Garden hosts an international exhibition of larger-than-life, lighted works of art."  We didn't see the lanterns lit, but they were quite impressive.

Silk fabric make the lanterns possible.

Later we went to the area designated for kids.  Also, free on Wednesdays!
