Dare to come hair-raisingly close to snakes, spiders and other creepy crawlers at the Myriad Botanical Gardens’ Creepy Conservatory on October 28 from 1 - 4 p.m.
They plan to have wooley-boogers, creepy crawlers and other scary critters we share the earth with up close and personal with any brave kids that show up at the Crystal Bridge.
From 1 – 4 p.m., snakes, spiders and centipedes will scare guests silly as they go hands-on with some of the most feared creatures in the world. Tony Baum, of Guthrie’s Fat Frog Pets, will bring along creatures like ball pythons, emperor scorpions, giant centipedes and Mexican red leg tarantulas.
Tamer activities will be offered in the Conservatory’s south lobby for the faint of heart. Pumpkin decorating and other fun crafts, along with a scavenger hunt, will keep kids busy and are free with admission. All activities are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
'We’d love to see all the kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes,' said Holli Wallner, program specialist with the Myriad Botanical Gardens.

Onion Burgers and Kite Surfing in OKC
This weekend our family visited Oklahoma City for a few good meals and some driving around. For lunch, we hit Kansas City Blues, Barbeque & Burgers.
The Quest for the Perfect Onion Burger - episode one.
The name alone was nearly enough to make us stop and the large sign offering 'Super Onion Burgers' definately closed the deal. I'd kill for one of those SOB's, I told my wife murderously.
In addition to Super Onion Burgers, catfish, dry rub BBQ and a great jukebox, KCBB&B offers live accoustic blues music over the lunch hour! Dress casual and expect to get lunch for less than $7. The top notch food and entertainment at Kansas City Blues Barbecue & Burgers means I'll be back. After a meal that could not be beat, we headed out to windy ol' Lake Hefner, but those SOB's haven't seen the last of me! .

Lake Hefner Wind Riders
Lake Hefner is well known among those daring types that harness the wind. There were several folks both wind surfing and kite boarding on the lake. The next time we visit, I plan to take a tripod so my zoom lens will work a little faster. Kite surfing is extremely fun to watch, but tough for a novice like me to photograph.
