Hey friends,
If your kids are climbing the walls and the AC can’t keep up, good newsβ€”splash pad season is still going strong! There’s still time to cool off without committing to a full pool day, and I’ve rounded up the best spots around Wichita to beat the heat.

This weekend’s also packed with funβ€”from outdoor movies and flea markets to classic cars, birthday ice cream, and high-energy hoops at the TBT Regionals.

And if you missed it, my newest video is live: β€œReal Reasons NOT to Move to Wichita”. Check it out by clicking HERE!

Let’s jump into what’s happening πŸ‘‡
