Prairie Fire {{Friday's 5}}

If it hasn't already become apparent, Marcus and I have been fortunate to get to spend some more of our summer in the Midwest. Since our return we haven't wasted a single minute. We have been constantly on the go exploring new things.

Our latest summer adventure landed us at the Prairie Fire Museum, which leads us right into Friday's Fives. 

1. This building. I may or may not have taken an excess number of photos of it. But seriously, how could you not? Just look at it. 

2. Toddlers always prove to make any outing interesting. I had grand plans of our two toddlers enjoying some culture like civilized human beings while the adults quietly hung back to let them explore. Ha. We lasted all of 15 minutes inside, snagged a few photo ops, and were then chasing the boys around like we were at a relay race and not a museum. Fun times for my anxiety... 

3. We moved our energy outside, and immediately the little guys seemed much happier with our transition. I mean, what is more fun than scaling retaining walls and balance-walking said walls with Grandpa? For Marcus and his cousin Clark, basically nothing. 

4. Marcus and I had a little moment where I caught a frog, and for a short while Marcus was captivated by the tiny green amphibian.

5. Don't think for a second I wasn't going to use this backdrop for a million photo opportunities. 

Once again, the way I pictured our day and the way it actually happened are totally different. But, that's not to say we didn't have a great time and the boys didn't expel some serious energy. Wins all around in my book. 

Have a great weekend!
