We went to Hermann Park first, where I showed her the tree which is like a swing.You literally just lower the branch of the tree, sit on it, and push of the ground- kind of like a see-saw. I was really worried about harming the tree- but I really wanted to show her as well. I learned about this tree when I came last time with my mom and aunt, and we saw about five kids "riding" on the tree. And my aunt and I actually joined them. It was really an adventure.
We also saw the beautiful Japanese garden at Hermann Park. However, if wasn't so much fun because most of the beautiful flowers were no longer there. Is spring over already? Did I miss it?
We went to the museum of Natural Science, and had such a great time at the butterfly exhibit. I had a beautiful black and blue large butterfly fiddle with my hair! I was so excited! And we saw millions of years old dinosaurs in the museum. I felt so amazed at their enormity. Then we took the light rail and went to main street square for some random wandering, and some basic shopping at forever 21. I generally do not like forever 21, but I was really surprised to find really pretty clothes for my sister.
Then we finally went to the exhibit we were waiting to attend all day- the King Tut exhibit.
That's all I have for my adventures for Friday. Oh- except that on the way back from main street street, I had a great conversation with a somewhat elderly man about psychology being "the sterile form of religion." I am not sure I completely agree with his viewpoint. I think religion provides a method of behavior, while psychology seeks to understand human behavior- but it was still a very enjoyable conversation. It was really awkward for a moment in the beginning where he assumed he knew me, but I had to inform him that we had never met before.

Well good night. Too tired to carry on. Forgive my grammar and spelling mistakes that probably exist please. It is 4 am- so my mind is not functioning at all. I just really wanted to share all of this before I went to sleep.
