Hope you had an excellent long weekend! I know it's a short week, but it's another busy one here in the area. Back to School for students in Minnesota!, The Blood Donor Clinic is on in Fort Frances (Wed & Thurs at the High School), & at B93 we do the grandprize draw for our Back to School contest this week. Below is our latest qualifying story. It's from Maria Gilbert
Splash! Was the sound of the crashing waves tumbling me and my best friend into the wave pool at Noah's Ark Water park. My family and I were taking a vacation to Wisconsin Dells Minnesota.
My brother Bryce and I each brought a friend. I'm not a big ride person. Usually I'll get sick if I go on rides. And trust me, it's not pretty!!!! Anyways, Bryce and Cameron (the friend he brought) went on a ride called the Scorpions Tale. It drops 50 ft per second. I know that's crazy! Once they got off the ride they both looked a little dizzy but let's face it, I didn't really care.
Time passed and it was getting time for some lunch, but Jenna and I wanted to go on just one more ride... the Sting Ray!! The Sting Ray was a ride where it looked like a sting ray curled up into a big U shape. Jenna was crazy about the ride but from the looks of it I wasn't so fussy on it. I just had to go on. Maybe I'd get over my fear of rides? So we grabbed a 2 person tube and got into the line up.
The line took only about 5 minutes. When it came to our turn I suddenly got the butterflies, bad. Jenna and I both hopped into the tube and the life guard gave us a push. My eyes flew right open and my mouth just dropped. It was the wildest ride in my life! As the day went on we continued to yell and scream on rides and this trip was the highlight of my summer!!!
Our friends Jenna and Cameron had a blast and so did we. Wisconsin Dells was a trip to remember.
