Centennial Monuments
We went down to Bricktown, and found our way into the Centennial Monument (Covered Wagons, Horses, Cowboys--a dog OH MY) it is really interesting, and if you haven't been you should go. They are still putting things in, but that is the fun of going now...watch the huge crane lift up a covered wagon--people and all and place it in its position. They were doing a wagon, got it down, but the horses took too long, so missed seeing them fly thru the air to their spot, but will check again. The detail on the sculptures is fantastic - I especially enjoyed the one of the cowboy trying to catch his hat--be sure and look for that when you go. Across the canel is a lone rider looking for a little calf asleep in the grass. We also saw a boatload (Oklahoma Princess) of sight seeiers, they paused at the head of the lead wagon (which is poised at the edge of the canel) The area around this exhibit is beautifully landscaped, and something for all us "Okies" to be proud of. Took lots of pictures, but I don't know how to post them, someday maybe. Going to Tulsa Tomorrow, to view the new Botanical Gardens opening this weekend. Take care have fun - all you Football fans!

Glad to know someone reads this! WE had a grand day in Tulsa today, not much rain, but got caught in a heavy shower on the Turnpike on the way home--so hard rain it was scary.

I so want to go see this, but I haven't figured out how to get there from Bricktown yet...actually I haven't convinced "the boys" that there is certainly a way and we could probably walk there...
