A Frightfully Fun Weekend

     All summer we promised Mikayla that we would take her to Worlds of Fun.  But for one reason or another we did not make it.  After summer ended we said we would go once the weather cooled down a bit.  Well this past weekend some of our friends invited us and off we went for a fun filled day at Worlds of Fun.  Worlds of Fun is an amusement park with roller coaster rides and a special area devoted just for the young.  I love going there this time of year because they deck it all out in Halloween.  During the day it is not so scary, but the night is full of frightful things.  Before you go thinking that I am a bad mom exposing my kids to all the scary things, we actually did not do anything more than watch the parade of all the creatures.  Oh and by the way, my kids loved seeing all the creatures and were not scared at all.  They each went up to them and were giving them hugs and high fives.  I think it might be that I have taught them that there are real people acting in the costumes and having them see us get all ghouled out may have helped as well.  Back to the main fare, we had a ton of fun taking the kids to the Camp Spooky (aka Camp Snoopy).  They wanted to ride everything even the big roller coasters.  However, we saved those just for mom and dad.  Actually I only got to ride two rides and Mike rode one, but I think we both had just as much fun seeing the expressions on the kids' faces as they were on the rides.  It just seemed to have a different effect going there as parents.  We took lots of pictures...
