Chris Miller Funday 2005


Yesterday, the Class of 2003 went down to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. OK, let me see if I can get everybody: Me, Chris, Max, Kyle, Brandon, Zach, Eric, Ashley, Megan, Angie, Kayla, Steph, Kelly, and Sara B. were going. It started off well. Zach showed up with a hangover so that was fun to watch. Kyle drove the Millers' van, Brandon drove himself because he had to get to Des Moines afterwards, Steph drove her car, and Chris drove his car. I rode in the van with Kyle, Zach, Ashley, Megan, and Angie. We didn't get far into Iowa when Zach had to puke. He puked again in Missouri, then again outside the park. Good thing he was going on rides. In Missouri, we were going about 100 mph and suddenly a cop pulled out behind us. We're all thinking seatbelts when the cop passes us and goes for the car inbetween us and Steph. We were freaked. But it was fun.

We got outside the park and we decided to eat, I think, beforehand so we turned around and went to Wendy's. Our van couldn't find everyone else because Zach was puking. We called and found out they went in anyways. We got our tickets after selling a few extras to some people. They said "Chris Miller Funday" hence the title of the post (and probably future gatherings). They went on the Boomerang while a few of us waited. Most of the group went to Oceans of Fun while Ashley, Megan, Angela, Eric, and I went to more rides. They went on the Mamba because I'm not too keen on rides overall. They make me yak. But I love being there. We then went on the Monsoon, one of the rides I actually go on. They then went on the Detonator and then we wondered around for a while until we got to the Spinning Dragons. The line was long so I took off toward the sugar. They had Wonka bars! You don't find those anywhere. We then went on the Viking Voyager, another I like, and then we chilled out. We got bored and went to Oceans of Fun. Megan and I didn't have suits so we just waited in the oppressive heat.

After a while, the whole group was ready to try Worlds of Fun. They wanted to go on Mamba but it was broke. They went on Detonator while I had my own thrill ride. I visited the Detonator gift shop and was looking at the glassware when one of the glass shelves above me broke shattering crap everywhere. I was so embarrassed. Luckily, they said it was OK as I said that I think I will leave the store now. Not my best moment. They then went on the ThunderHawk and hated it while I found a DDR Extreme game. They really wanted me to go on it so I played some chick from the park. That was fun and exhausting. It's been a while! They went on Spinning Dragons again and most of the group got tired. Some headed back to the cars while the others went on Boomerang again. We cranked the A/C and waited and navigated the most poorly designed lot ever. We then left and went to eat. They wanted Perkins but we brought them down to CiCi's. Brandon left for the army and we were off. Unfortunately, Kayla's car was off in the wrong direction. Glad I wasn't.

The drive back was fun and reminiscent. Zach was going about 80 mph and the group wanted to stop constantly but we kept going. They wanted us to stop for 30 minutes to catch up but we didn't. Almost into Nebraska, Zach has the great idea of passing a guy in a disappearing lane and then suddenly having to slow up to not hit a truck. In Omaha, Kyle wanted Zach to take I-680 North and cut the median to get to Center faster. He wasn't going to do that in the Millers' van so we took that to Pacific and got back to Center. We tried to get gas at Fantasy's but they were closed. The other called us at about the Platte River saying that they were at 160th and Center. No way. We went to Cubby's for gas and then headed back to Mead. We left gas money I had to get gas in may car. Christ showed up not too long after wanting to know how long we've been back. They must've totally sped bad. Oh well, that's the whole of it! I can't wait for the next one.
