July 4, 2019 Tulsa Fireworks Display <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is July 4 Season where we celebrate the Declaration of Independence gaining our freedom from Great Britain. A day of fireworks and eating way too much. Our family will be going to Tulsa’s Veteran’s Park to watch the fireworks show, and eat too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tulsa’s Gilcrease Museum<\/a> has a certified copy of the Declarations<\/a> <\/a>of Independence<\/a> and for the first time in several years they brought it out of the vaults and put it on display to the public and so I went and checked it out. It was awe inspiring to see it and astonishing to see how faded it was. They were allowing photographs and I did not take one because it would not have been a good photo. Still, being able to view such an ancient, important, and foundational document was uplifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After I viewed the Declaration of Independence I wandered outside and found some flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found a fabric art installation by Rachel Hayes. I used by Lensball to take a photo of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I ventured further into their grounds (which are not gated and are free!!!) to the far end to see the Frontier Woman Statue. That lady has been churning butter and looking to see something for about twenty years now. Probably waiting on her husband to come home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And their is this cabin nearby. The door is always open and I always close it because there is nothing worth looking at inside and it takes a better photo with the door shut. Otherwise I get this big dark spot right in the middle of the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I stopped by on the way back to the parking lot I stopped to say hello to the Twins. That is the name of this sculpture by Jay O’Meilia. I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
