The weather yesterday was beyond gorgeous and Robert and I just knew that the only thing to do was to be outside. We decided to go to the ArtWalk festival at RiverWalk Crossing in Jenks.
We couldn't have asked for a better day, we had lunch on the patio at Los Cabos with a beautiful view of the river and City Plex Towers on the other side:
There were lots of things and people to see. There were several different groups of musicians playing along the walk:
We saw some of the areas more talented residents:
This guy's name is Yusuf Etudaiye and he has a pottery studio in McAlester, Etudaiye Studio. The weather yesterday was very pleasant but I don't know how he survives the Oklahoma summers with all that hair.
Here is a crappy picture of some of his work on display at the festival:
As with all of the pictures, you can see a little better if you click on them.
We saw some of the areas cutest residents:
And we saw a few of the areas more colorful residents:
Yes, those are fishnet stockings...(?!)
We named this woman Boobie McBooberson:
And this guy looks like he might be Northeastern Oklahoma's very own version of Dog the Bounty Hunter:
And finally:
I know, I know, I'm horrible. But doesn't it seem like some of these people were just begging for attention? So I really didn't have any choice but to oblige them, now did I?
Maybe I better just stop now and get thankful about a few things:
1. I am thankful for festivals on the river.
2. I am thankful for being able to spend an amazing Saturday afternoon with the man I love.
3. I am thankful for sweet tea with lemon.

Well, Norway isn't a big country and so on....why do everybode love to talk on and on about theyr own country?? I really was here to comment on your blog and all I talk about is myself *lol*

You are bad... so very bad... you know that, right? just how baaaaaad you are, hee I snorted throughout your post.
(Your bad is just fine in my book)
Great pictures, and yes, they were just asking for attention. You really had no other choice.
One thing I notice in these photos is all the people in short sleeves and shorts; ahhh the weather must have been perfect.
Amy: love the photo essay of your afternoon out.
Boobie McBooberson. heh heh.
It looked a fantastic time... we did something similar this weekend down the waterfront but (snif) I forgot my camera.
Wow! Your last 2 posts and photos make Tulsa look so cosmopolitan and beautiful. And it looks like such nice weather here.
Too bad it will be so beastly hot in a month!
Oh, that looks like it was a lot of fun! We love going to the Riverwalk. The weather had been gorgeous the last couple of days. Hope it stays this way a little longer.
Looks like a great trip! And yes, I think they asked for it themselves. Great comments!
You named my MOTHER Boobie McBooberson???????

Awh! I shoot a lot of photos, but you really got some goodies!
I'm still giggling over Boobie, because, I'm 12 too!
