Chinese Lantern Festival

In July, Chris and I planned a date night to visit the Chinese Lantern Festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden.  We hired a babysitter and everything.  We drove all the way downtown only to discover that it was sold out!  We were bummed, so instead, we went to the grocery store, without kids, which is a reward in itself.  

I had been so excited to go, I preordered tickets for the last week of the event.  When we finally went, we had a great time.  The first time we tried to visit, it was over 100 degrees, during our actual visit, it was only in the 70's.  It ended up being much more enjoyable all around.  We had a great evening and enjoyed the displays - in the daylight, and again after dark.
