Biker Babes

Kelsey and I participated in the midnight bikeride this year. The city of Lenexa does it every year around The Fourth. We did the 12.5 mile ride which took us down into some caves. These kind of caves are all around KC. They are manmade caves with businesses inside. I used to make deliveries to one when I worked. Anyway, I think they are limestone or something. They are pretty cool. They remind me of the Star Trek TOS episode with the silicon based life form. I didn't see anything like that though. The picture is taken in downtown Lenexa. I know I look like a dork but I don't have a light on my bike so I borrowed the boys caving lights. Hey, I wasn't the only one....

RIP Orient Express

For our fourth of July festivities we went to Worlds of Fun on Monday. A few years ago we went ON the fourth and Trevor and I watched the fireworks from atop the Orient Express, before that first drop. Remember that drop? Well sadly we weren't able to repeat the experiance because the Orient has gone to the great amusement park in the sky. Along with the Xtream roller and the shishboomer. The Zambizi is still living somewhere in Columbia, South America. I kid you not. Anyway. Remember our first trip to Worlds of Fun when Sammy was about 2 years old. I'm thinking of the picture of her asleep on Mom's shoulder. Well it's still a good time just not as good as it was with the Orient Express, my personal favorite roller coaster. It is replaced with a pretty fun ride called Spinning Dragons. It looks like a roller coaster but your car spins on the track. It's fun but it's no OE. Sigh.
Kelsey wants to make it known that she rode both the Boomerang AND the Mamba!

This is before they flipped them upside down on the Thunder Hawk. 

Funnel Cakes mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 

What happens when he doesn't get his piece of the funnelcake.
