We had to go to Worlds of Fun today. No really, it was not just a moral imperative being the first full day of summer but also the day of dance competition at WOF. This time our son's participation was just two songs, his solo and a team tap dance. As an added bonus for us his dance times were slotted for the mid morning. Awards were scheduled for 4-5ish later in the day. This left us with plenty of time to enjoy park rides while waiting for the ceremony to begin. The weather dude predicted a rainy Saturday for us which I think turned out ok. Crowds were not as large as they could have been for a summer Saturday at an amusement park nor was the weather very hot. We spent our down time wondering from ride to ride in the on again off again drizzle enjoying our first day of summer. As we meandered our way half way through the park some of the kids in our happy little group decided that a ride on the Fury of the Nile was in order. For those unfamiliar with the ride it is a circular boat free floating down a man made river with man made rapids designed to get the riders wet. It is a matter of chance on how much a rider can get wet which seems to be the point of the ride. I escaped with a few drops trickled on me from an over head water fall for which I was pretty thankful for. A little girl in our group was drenched by a wave about as big as she was. It was sometime during the wait and the ride a bit of kid logic occurred to me.
Waiting in the rain for 30-45 minutes for a water ride only to be scared of getting wet from the ride. It's the simple things that keep us young. My boy earned two silvers by the way. What a great day.
