@_lifewithlo_: POV: They told us there was nothing to do in Kansas. 🥾💦 As a military family stationed at Fort Riley, we’re determined to prove otherwise. This weekend we tackled our first family hike to Geary Lake Falls. And while they’ve never seen a waterfall the girls started out excited, but the steep trail, unfamiliar sounds, and talk of snakes had them second-guessing the adventure. But here’s the funny part: before they fell asleep on the ride home, they asked if we could come back and try again. So I guess we’re officially becoming a hiking family. 🤍 As we explore more hiking as a family, I want to make sure we have the right gear for the girls’ adventures. If you have any must-have recommendations for kids, drop them below! Tagging a few outdoor brands that were recommended to us on the trail as we start planning our next adventure: @REI @thenorthface @Patagonia @merrell @Osprey Packs @cityofjunctioncityks #MilitaryLife #FamilyAdventures #SunflowerSummer #ThingsToDoWithKids #KansasHiddenGems

Make sure you go to Wamego for the Fireworks show. 10000/10 and better than Disney World.

You should go to the Milford nature center. There’s a playground at the end and you can pack a picnic too!

Please download the sunflower app which has a ton of things to do with kids during the summer. Also, we have Freedom Fest starting on the first through the fifth Downtown JC. Will have a firework show also downtown. Wamego also has a great one too.
