The Triumphant Return to Worlds of Fun

It's been 3 years since we've made our annual WOF trip
and we were SO excited to be back!

The upside to being away for so long
is that we are all much taller than last time we were here
which means LOTS of roller coaster this year!

We ALL rode the Boomerang
and the Prowler.
But turns out, Tucker's stomach isn't up for roller coasters yet.
He threw up after the second coaster.

He recovered with Dad and Jack
while I hopped back on with Mom and Wes
(see him in the back?)
I was hooked.
I'll ride anything, anytime, anywhere.

But...
there's something about Snoopy World
that always draws me in.
We rode everything there too,
including the little boats.
The day was PERFECT--
it was supposed to be blasting hot
and then they thought it was going to rain.
That seemed to keep everyone home.
But it ended up being warm and cloudy
and we had the park to ourselves.

We spent most of the day in Worlds of Fun,
riding everything multiple times.
Check this out--
even Jack hopped on some coasters!

Tucker braved the Mamba,
but threw up.
He decided to stick to wheels that were a bit slower.

In the late afternoon,
we headed to Oceans of Fun
and rode EVERY slide, 
rode the waves in the wave pool
and even begrudgingly wore life jackets
in the activity pool
so that we could say we did it all in OOF.

You'd think that would be enough for one day,
but you clearly don't know the Reeds (and Mema).
When Oceans of Fun closed,
we headed back to Worlds of Fun 
for a few more rides...and some pretzel bites.

We headed to the taxies

for a jaunty drive through the country
(and got to see a family of skunks that are 
apparently living in the park!)
We rode the Viking Voyager
but broke with tradition and finished the night
with multiple rides on one of Mama's favorites,
the Sea Dragon
We got into a yelling contest on our last ride,
trying to see which side could be the loudest.
Not sure who won.
We tried to top of the night with WAFFLE HOUSE
(delicious, right?)
but when they were only serving take out,
we had to settle for Taco Bell
so that we could sit in a booth
and take a load off to debrief the day.
It. Was. Awesome.
Gate opening to gate closing.
Making up for lost time.
