Waterlilies, giant fish, and a pagoda

Kew gardens=huge and amazing! We were there from 10am to about 3pm, and we still didn't see it all. We went through the temperate house, where we saw a lot of pretty flowers and ponds with giant fish. Then we went to the treetop walk (which was not nearly as awesome as I had hoped). At the base of the treetop walk was a peacock, a real live peacock. Miriam said, "I have never actually seen a peacock with it's feathers all spread out." At that very instant, and I'm not exaggerating, the peacock squawked and fanned its tail feather. It was proably the most amazing moment of the day. The peacock then did a cute little dance for us, did the hokey poky and he turned himself about, and posed for pictures. Thanks for granting our every wish little peacock. Then we made our way to the queen's cottage, the pagoda, and the Japanese garden. At the garden, we ran into the boys, and Jason informed us that the evolution house was like Jurassic Park, a few of us made our way there. I think Jason's description got my hopes up a little too high, but that's okay, it was kind of cool. The thing I was really excited to see was the waterlily house! It was everything I had hoped it would be and more. It warm and sweet! My life is now complete. The lens of my camera fogged up, but I managed to get a few pictures. Then we went to the palm house, The Princess Conservatory, and Kew Palace. The Kew palace was sort of anti-climatic...it was just a house. After that, we made our journey home, where I made myself pasta and chilled. Then they talked me into going to the Young Single Adults dance at the Hyde Park Chapel. It was fun, but dancing around and feeling self-conscious gets old pretty fast. That was pretty much my day, though. Good times!
