Fireworks, Birthdays, and concerts, oh my!

Our fourth of July celebrations were a little packed this year. Our oven gave out and our new one was delivered that morning. We ended up staying home from church to wait for the oven. My husbands birthday is the fourth and I might have had him install my oven on his birthday…I bought him a cheesecake! That makes it okay, right?

Since the fourth landed on a Sunday our churches celebration(Rockets Over Rhema) ended up that day also (it is always on Sunday so it is not always on the fourth). We stayed for the some of the concerts and walked around a little bit but left before the fireworks.

Beautiful! concert5

We left just in time to make it to our own towns Firework display, it was a little close…I am not always good with time management. But we made it, that is all that matters. The anxiety in finding a parking spot and hoping I did not spoil the boys chance to see fireworks just adds to the excitement of the day I think.

Sand Springs Herbal Affair & Festival

The air smelled like herbs, spices and good food! I think that was my favorite part of the Sand Springs Herb Affair & Festival, the wonderful smells.

This is my first time for this festival, we have been to the Jenks Herb Festival but never the Sand Springs one. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time. If you missed it this year don’t be sad, you can still make the Jenks Herb Festival this Saturday April 24th 8am-5pm.

Appreciate Oklahoma ~ Festivals

My family and I have fun checking out the local festivals every year. Sometimes we find one that we want to return to again and again.

Check out TravelOK for events in your area of Oklahoma.

I look up Festivals and Events in our area for the year and put them on my calendar. That way if we have a free weekend and want something to do, I can just look at my calendar to see if there are any festival’s I would like to attend.
