Can you hear it?

Im sure most of you have heard about this by now, its been in the news, and in the talk shows, but if you haven’t here is your chance.

Apparently kids are using a special ring tone for their cell phones. Its a tone that British police would use to break up student riots. This tone can only be heard by younger people. Scientists say that adults start to lose that range of their hearing around the age of 20. I am youthfull enough I guess since I am able to hear this annoying noise.

Can you???

Wisconsin Dells

April, Trisha, Erin and I piled into the car and took a little 7 hour drive over to Wisconsin Dells.  We were meeting up with Steve and Amy who are friends of the girls to spend a few days in the largest grouping of water parks in the world.  We are staying at the Polynesian Resort Hotel which has both an indoor water park and an outdoor water park.  We spent some time on the lazy river and went down a few of the slides yesterday.  We went out to dinner at Mexicali Rose which is right on the water.  After dinner the rest of the crew went to watch a water skiing show, while I went back to the hotel to watch game 5 of the Standley Cup Finals.  Edmonton was down 3 games to 1.  They ended up winning last night in overtime.  Edmonton had one person in the penalty box, so they were short handed.  One of the Edmonton players stole the puck at the blue line and went in and scored the sudden death game winning goal.  It was a pretty exciting game.  Game six will be played Saturday at 8:00 PM Eastern in Edmonton.

Steve

Today we went out for breakfast at iHOP, before we headed out to the pool area.  Steve and I were using the smallest tubes and going down the water slides.  We were a little big for the tubes and were getting dumped at the bottom of the slide.  We were able on occasion to stay right side up.  We also went down in a double tube (Steve and I)  which makes you go really fast down the tube.  We flipped on that one too.  April and Amy went up to the room to get showered up.  Erin, Trish, Steve and I went to the indoor park and sat in the sauna for a while.  I really like saunas.  I am excited to have one up in Unalakleet next year.

Sounds like we are heading out for dinner right now.  MooseJaw is the resturaunt of choice for the evening.  I am planning on wearing my MooseJaw shirt this evening.  Maybe I’ll get some free food.  🙂
