Lake Hefner Kiteboarding

If you live around Oklahoma City and are passing by Lake Hefner, you may see some people flying huge kites... Upon further inspection you may notice the people are attached to the giant kites and are zipping around the lake, like truly surfing on the water by allowing the kite to propel them. "Kiteboarding" on Lake Hefner has to be one of the most fun-looking sports I have ever witnessed. Recently we found out how to become a "Kiteboarder" or like my wife Myriah says "Wind Surfer." You can schedule appointments for two classes to learn how to kiteboard. The first lesson is on land, and the instructors teach you how to do everything you need to know in the water on land. The second lesson puts you in the water to put to practice everything you learned in the prior lesson, and practice working with a bigger kite. According to the website they spend two hours on the first lesson for $100 and $175 for the second three hour water lesson. They teach you everything you would need in order to become a surfer! If you sign up with a friend or with a group you can get a 20% discount. That's awesome.
No worries, Myriah is not going to be wind-surfing, as our child is due in February. But before this Summer is up for you, this is another example of some exciting OKC flavor. Enjoy!

What: Lake Hefner Kiteboarding lessons
When: Every Saturday at 10:00 AM, or one on one lessons weekdays from 8:00-5:00PM, depending on at least a 15mph wind
Where: Lake Hefner's "Kite Point"

Local Cooking Class for Time-Saving Meal Solutions

My wife was a teacher before she decided to join me in Real Estate. I know how much of a struggle it is to have two working individuals and have to come home and figure out what to do for dinner after the work day. If you have children, that is double the trouble to try and find quick, but healthy dinner solutions.
Whole Foods Market is hosting a cooking class to help busy individuals get back into the swing of things this school year with "delicious back to school ideas! Chef Terri will lead a class on time-saving meal solutions!"

Paseo Gallery Walk

First Friday Gallery Walk

  - Aug 03, 2012

My wife and her dad use the Gallery Walk as a father-daughter date night, and leave me to my own devices (usually working at KW). Myriah's dad was a drama major and disk-jockey in the 70's and he seems to believe "his people" come out to the Gallery Walk. He loves to people watch and view some of the local artwork and photographs. He commented that the next time they go, he will not eat dinner beforhand, as many galleries put out light and even some heavy appetizers for the gallery-goers to enjoy. There is live music, art openings, and wine tasting, and there are non-alcoholic beverages for those of us who don't drink.

"Over 75 artists in more than 20 galleries participate, all within walking distance. Four to six art opening receptions on Friday night showcase the new work of the gallery owners or the work of guest artists." - TravelOK.com

Come and enjoy more of Oklahoma's local flavor!

When: August 3, 2012, 6:00PM-10:00PM
