Normally Sunday is my lazy day. Normally! But, Aaron asked if I’d like to go to the Tallgrass National Preserve. We’d been there once before, but it seemed like a fun place to go with kids and the weather was perfect. So it turned into a not-so lazy day.

Of course, it didn’t occur to either one of us that it was run by the National Park Service and would be closed because of the government shutdown.

Ooops. But, I’m going to count this as my lazy day photo. We didn’t have a lazy day, but this park did.

We had already spent a couple of hours at a playground nearby, so it was not a big deal.

Instead, we took the long way home and enjoyed some beautiful Kansas scenery.
