Route 66 Flywheelers ~Catoosa, OK

This event has been going on since 1991!

It was a lot bigger than I thought and the people were so friendly.

Great event to bring kids.

So many of the people loved kids!

They had fun little things set up just for the kids that came.

Some of the girls thought the gas engines smelled…

We went to their pumpkin patch while we had a friend staying with us two weeks ago.

This is a running farm so I do believe they have electric fences going, so be careful with little ones.

ablancaDSC_1712

My strategy when we have extra kids around?

All the fun things possible.

As little downtime as we can manage.

HA

So, of course, I did quick face paint before we went.

My nine year old requested a 19th century English Gentlemen.

They have a lot of free things to do, including games and a hay maze.

This is what a worn out 3yr old looks like…

She was done waiting for the others to finish coloring.

Do you have a favorite pumpkin patch?

Sand Springs Herbal Affair & Festival ~Sand Springs, Ok

We went to the Sand Springs Herbal Affair and Festival this morning!

We did not stay very long but it was a nice start to our Saturday.

These soaps smelled so good!

And so did the spices, and the herbs, and the food…

I wanted it all pretty much.

aherbfestDSC_4809 aherbfestDSC_4811 aherbfestDSC_4812 aherbfestDSC_4814 aherbfestDSC_4819 aherbfestDSC_4821

No clue who these people were that dressed up as a King and Queen but the kids got a kick out of it.

aherbfestDSC_4825 aherbfestDSC_4829

Wore the wrong shoes…

aherbfestDSC_4830 aherbfestDSC_4835

They all really liked the shuttle ride from the parking lot to the festival!

It was very chilly which was funny since last week we went to the Herb Festival in Jenks and it was hot!
