Cooper and I went to Play N Party with some friends, and their daughter Coopers age, from Oklahoma to have a playdate. Both kids had a blast and I enjoyed being indoors away from the heat. Definitely a place I'd suggest taking your kiddos to hangout. 🫶🏻

Went out to Barber county state fishing lake this afternoon for our Exploring Kansas Treasure hunt. That's definitely a very pretty lake!

Little miss will be 24 weeks on Monday, and we haven't really done any bump photos yet, so had to have Nick take some photos of me today. It was way too hot and humid for preggers to be out in the heat very long but we had fun while it lasted.

Added a few extra photos of our drive back home to Wichita. Let me know which you like better of the landscape photos. Black and white or color ones.

🫙💵 The $100 jar has officially been hidden! 💵🫙

This week's hunt will take you to Barber County State Lake! 🌾

The jar is hidden near the northeast corner of the main lake, and we've included a screenshot of the general location in the video to help point you in the right direction. 👀📍

Take your time, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and remember:

✅ No digging
✅ No damaging anything
✅ Leave the area just as you found it

If you're the lucky one who finds the jar, we'd really appreciate it if you could send us a quick message to let us know! Even if you'd prefer to remain anonymous, it helps us let everyone else know the hunt is over and saves others an unnecessary trip.

Good luck, everyone! We can't wait to see who takes home this week's $100! 💵🌿

🌙🗺️ Late-night county reveal! 🗺️🌙

Tomorrow we're headed back to Barber County for our next $100 Find the 100 hunt! 💵🫙

Barber County has become one of our favorite places to visit. From the breathtaking Gypsum Hills Scenic Byway to its wide-open landscapes and hidden gems, it's a county that keeps calling us back.

This time, we'll be exploring somewhere a little different as we search for the perfect hiding spot for this week's $100 jar.

If you're from Barber County, let us know where you're from or share one of your favorite local spots in the comments! We always enjoy hearing your recommendations.

Keep an eye on the page tomorrow—we'll reveal the location once the jar is hidden. 👀

🫙💵 The $100 jar has officially been hidden! 💵🫙

This week's hunt will take you to the Lyon County State Fishing Lake! 🌾

The jar is hidden down one of the paths, and we've included a photo of the area to help point you in the right direction. 📸👀

Take your time, enjoy the outdoors, and remember:
✅ No digging
✅ No damaging anything
✅ Leave the area just as you found it

One small favor... 😊 If you're the lucky one who finds the jar, we'd really appreciate it if you could send us a quick message to let us know. We included a note inside the jar with our contact information, but even if you'd rather remain anonymous, we'd still love to know it's been found so we can let everyone else know and save them an unnecessary trip.

Good luck to everyone heading out to search—we can't wait to see who finds this week's $100! 💵🌿
