Arts Festivus

Concerned about the weather over the next few days, the kids and I made a short visit to OKC's 43rd annual Festival of the Arts. Hopefully we'll get to visit again this weekend, because two hours isn't enough to cover all the cool things going on downtown. We're really quite lucky to have such a festival here in OKC. And the weather this evening was completely perfect. Comfortable temps and a gentle breeze.

You might find it tacky, but I love this picture with the cranes in the background. Not only does it say "insert new skyscraper here", but it exemplifies the growth of the city and the festival.



Our principle goal this evening was dinner. I had a very tasty pork loin sandwich, while Shelby clamored for a turkey leg. And, yes, she finished it.



Darby went for some Iguana Grill.



We were able visit about three quarters of the art booths. Man I wish I had a boatload of expendable cash. There were so many pieces of art I would love to own. We were also able to visit many of the children's areas. The kids, of course, got their faces painted. And Shelby bought a piece of art from the "Kid's Art Mart". But there were several areas we did not get to see, so hopefully the weather holds up and we get to stop by again, for longer, this weekend. There is plenty more food and fun to be had.
