Day 51 (Saturday, August 14th) Oceans of Fun Waterpark, Kansas City, MO

We're sorry that we haven't blogged in the last few days. Mostly they were uneventful driving days and a day to have routine service done on the truck. We don't want anything to break on the road again!

Yesterday we got into Kansas City, Missouri. The campgrounds we'd looked at in the part of Kansas City where we wanted to stay weren't all that nice. The exception was a fairly new campground that was attched to an amusement park. You could get discounted tickets to either side of the park, or both. One side was roller-coasters and other thrill rides and the second side was a gigantic waterpark. We let the guys decide and since it was about 95 degrees outside, they unamimously chose to spend the day in the waterpark.

We spent the day swimming in a giant wave pool, sliding down various waterslides, and doing other activities that kept us completely soaked. We even stood on the bridge at the finishing splash of a huge flume ride! We stayed out there for about a dozen boats and were thoroughly doused with each passing.

All in all it was an excellent way to pass the day and the boys were completely happy with skipping any sights that Kansas City had to offer. Since Kim and I had already purchased a couple of nice Kansas City steaks to cook on the grill when we got back to the trailer, we tended to agree with the guys. We still have a few more exciting things to go see before we get home and this was a nice relaxing way to spend a day. Tomorrow, we head out for St. Louis and the Gateway Arch, along with a few other things. We'll get another blog, with pictures, up soon.
