How is it June already? Summer has officially arrived and there are so many fun things to do here in the Oklahoma City area!
For me, summer has always been a time of finding ways to make memories with family and friends. I hope that you, too, will take time to enjoy the community around you and the fun that Oklahoma City has to offer this summer? The first thing I will always recommend is a good coffee shop! So, here are a few of my favorites:
The Harvey Bakery - A large, beautiful space with a delicious assortment of pastries, breakfast, and lunch! They have one of my favorite iced Lavender lattes and one of the best Americanos!
Coffee Slingers - Truly the best bang for your buck! They make everything in house and roast their own coffee. The location is also perfect for some window shopping in the heart of Oklahoma City.
Summer Moon - A classic, but with many locations around The City, it is never far!
While quality time over a cup of coffee is definitely a love language of mine, there are plenty of other things going on this summer that I want to share! Take your friends, family or enjoy a date night with these FREE activities:
Farmers Market at Scissortail Park - Every Saturday (9am-1pm). All items here are homegrown, handmade, and vendor-created from locally-owned sources!

These are just a few of the many things OKC has to offer, but I hope this is a helpful place to start for finding your summer activities! I pray that as we go about our days, no matter what we do, that we would remember Colossians 3:17, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

My name is Chloe Wall and I married my bestie, Eric Wall in July 2023! We have a sweet dog named pepper and are absolutely obsessed with her! I am a wedding photographer and a big fan of being outside, reading, coffee runs, listening to my favorite music (anything taylor swift!!), family time and watching movies with a candle lit! Most of all, I love Jesus and am so thankful for the wonderful gifts He has provided in my life. I am so thankful for Council Road and love getting to walk alongside my husband and the sweet people here as we do life together!
