Took the family to the local theme park here in Kansas City at Worlds of Fun last Monday. The big thing for the kidlets is Camp Snoopy which of course has the celebrated giant headed cartoon characters in giant oversized costumes.
We were walking up the hill making our way towards Camp Snoopy knowing that we'd be possibly happening upon the costumed characters. I was enjoying my youngest on my shoulders listening to her happy chatting about the new sites and sounds at the amusement park. We turned a corner and there they were in all their giant headed glory. My oldest was pretty bold, however, the two youngest had some issues. The second wouldn't come close, but she would wave to them from a safe
distance.
Somehow the Peanuts characters don't seem to translate well in real life. This is something my youngest noticed. Here's a shot of her when we turned the corner and saw the Peanut gang waiting at the entrance. The look of sheer terror pretty much sums up the 3 minute exchange between Lucy, Snoopy and the blond one (can't remember her name...). I couldn't peel the kid off my sholders. We made a quick escape and enjoyed the rest of the evening avoiding Snoopy and his gang. My youngest is Snoopy freaky!
