Oh What Fun…

Trent and I decided to take a little weekend trip to Kansas City a few weeks back.  We had our big trip to Africa this summer, but other than that we really hadn’t planned a vacation.  It was spur of the moment, but fun.  Trent wanted to go to Worlds of Fun despite knowing that I am absolutely no fun at an amusement park.  The thrill is just too much for me.  I did my best to be a trooper, but Trent was stuck riding the Mamba alone.  Three times.

This was my first trip to Worlds of Fun since 1990.  I liked amusement parks less in 1990.  I particularly dreaded the Fury of the Nile…don’t judge.  Getting splashed and soaked was not fun for my six year old self.  As a way to redeem myself 23 years later, I was bound and determined to ride the Fury of the Nile and this time, it was a success.

Post Fury of the Nile 1990…sheer terror.

Post Fury of the Nile 2013…all smiles.

It was a quick, but fun trip.  We explored Kansas City a little while doing some eating and shopping.
