My Mayfest Date
I've always said Fall is my favorite time of year, but I'm really growing to love Spring. Flowers coming up in the garden, sun dresses, meals on the patio, berry picking, farmers markets and festivals all make way for bustling Summer activity. It really gets my gears going!
Mayfest is a 40 year old tradition in Tulsa of bring local art downtown, and the Blue Dome Arts Festival is a staple as well. I love being outside and perusing the many booths to see amazing art and meet the artists. This year, we had camping plans for the weekend and I knew we weren't going to be able to get out there with all the kids, so I had to figure something else out. There's no way I'll miss a Mayfest! So, since my pre-schooler only has half days of school, he got to be the lucky one to take me on a date while we had a window of opportunity before the weekend!
I will miss the days he doesn't insist on holding my hand to walk down the street. Look at that little ragamuffin. His poor iron on monster has lost an eye. We made those t-shirts for the Tulsa + event a while back; it's his favorite.
