Chris Goes to Middle America

Chris came with me to Kansas City for Thanksgiving.  I'm not sure what he expected, but this is what he got.

Chris:  Okay guys, I want the full Kansas City Experience.

Me:  How about some barbecue!

Chris:  Hooray!

...

Me:  Okay, so you've eaten the biggest meal of your life, full of wonderful Kansas City barbecue.  Now what do you w--

Me: You know what'll wake you right up after a big meal?  A playground!

Chris:  Holy crap!  Is that a giant penguin?  And a kangaroo??  Steph, what is this place?  Steph... where... what are you doing?

Me:  What?  Oh, sorry, I uhh... I got excited.  What were we talking about?  Oh right, after a big meal it's always fun to move around a lot!

Chris:  Yeah, I don't think -

My Mom:  OH MY GOD!  A balance beam!!!

 

Chris:  Oh, that's not too bad after a meal.  Yeah Steph, let's do the balance beam.

Me:  Bo-ring!

Mom:  Steph, why don't you hold onto the chains?

My Dad:  Because that's for babies!

Me:  Also, I can't move my arms.

Chris:  Wow, you look... special.

Me:  What?  How about now?

Chris:  Nope, back to looking like yourself.

Me:  Thanks babe.  Hey, look at meee!

 

Chris:  Really?  Spinning?  That's probably the worst thing you could do after eating.

Me:  Try it!  It's awesome!

Chris:  There is no way you could get me on a spinny thing after a meal like that.

Me:  DO IT.

Chris:  Okay that's great guys, so since you've gotten me thoroughly dizzy, now what?

Me:  You've got this, babe!  I'm so excited, your first shootin' experience!

Chris:  I don't know if I'm doing it right...

Me:  I think it looks good... check the guide poster.

Me:  Looks like you're doing it right to me!  Maybe just lean back a little more?  Like it says, we are enjoying an all-too-rare moment... together.

Chris:  It is nice that we're doing this together!  You know what?  I want a souvenir... let's get a target poster, shoot it, and then frame it for our apartment!  OOH a zombie one!  Wait, is that ridiculous?

Me:  Completely.

Me:  So after all that awesomeness, is there anything you would change about your Kansas City Experience?

Chris:  Hmmm.....
