For future reference, while they don't look like anything special in this picture, the prime rib sliders from the Deep Fork booth were entirely delicious. Highly recommended if you make it to the fest this year (tomorrow is the last day).
Here's Darby having an artistically appreciative moment in the sculpture park.
Again, she is hostage to sculpture appreciation.
I just like the view of downtown from the botanical gardens, where the Arts Fest is held. I'm standing in the "windscape" area, which was neat.
If I knew how delicious the strawberries newport was, I would have had it for dinner the last time we visited the Arts Fest, and I would have had two of them for lunch today, instead of just one for dessert. Oh my goodness they are tasty.
After a few hours at the Arts Festival, we had to leave to head to Darby's softball practice, which was 30-plus minutes away. So, imagine my annoyance when it started to downpour ten minutes into practice, forcing the coach to cancel. That storm missed downtown OKC, and so we could have stayed at the festival, if only we had known!
So we went from a shortened practice to shopping. In a few weeks, Darby graduates from middle school (gasp!), and while she had a dress and a matching necklace, we still needed to get more accessories (earrings and shoes). We shopped for nearly two hours before finding what we think were the perfect shoes. The right earrings weren't terribly hard to find, and they were on sale, so I only paid a third the marked price!
Here's Darby in her dress, shoes, necklace, and earrings (which you can't see). With the possible exception of a purse (there's some debate about getting one), she's ready for graduation!
After shopping, we went home to watch the OKC Thunder beat up on the Lakers. Think I'm biased? Of course I am, but even the LA Times is with me on this. Either way, even if we don't make it out of this round of the playoffs, this season has been a wonderful ride, for which I am thankful.
