Rissy's Big Birthday Plans
Rissy turns into a teenager Saturday, the big 13. I'm taking her to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, just the two of us. We've never done that before, and I know it's going to be a blast! It's going to be a long day, too, since we're going for Halloween Haunt and the park is open until 1:00 a.m. We'll also be spending the night at a hotel, something Rissy just loves to do, so this will be a birthday to remember, I'm sure.
I remember going to Worlds of Fun at the same age with my twin brother Kevin and our friend Donnie Dunn. His family invited us to go with them, which for two extra guests wasn't inexpensive. We had the best time I ever remember having there, literally running from ride to ride as fast as we could. I wish I had pictures of my geeky, skinny, 7th grade self from that trip. Three young pals, not a care in the world, having one fantastic day together.
I'll be sure to get lots of pictures of this trip with Rissy. Soon she won't want to do this sort of thing with her dad.
