POV: You found two KC besties who are always up for a Merriam adventure.

Meet Ana & Rosana of Growing KCKids — two KC moms and co-creators who have been showing Merriam plenty of love, one adventure at a time.💙

They’ve explored our parks, community events, and local businesses, and we love seeing Merriam through their eyes. 👀

❓ Their favorite part? "The welcoming, hometown feel that makes Merriam just a little extra cozy." 🫶

Go give them a follow and see where these two take you next. Who knows? Their next Merriam moment might inspire your next adventure!
