Belleville Waterfront Festival and Folklorama

This weekend starts the annual Waterfront festival. For some people it was just a good time the get plastered. But this year they changed the whole set up and there wasn't any bands past 11pm so that it was going to be a "family" weekend. More about the actually festival and not all the drunks wandering around.
So tonight started out with the $24.00 bracelet waterfront warm up. The kids all buy the band and can ride unlimited rides until 10 pm.
Darin was working so I took the kids. Tyson isn't fond of that sort of stuff but he liked to see all the kids and watch the rides. Dalton on the other hand LOVES the rides.
So we got there around 4pm and stayed till about 8:30 pm when all the teenagers started to arrive and take over the park. No matter, Tyson had had enough and it was bed time. So Dalton got a good amount of riding in. We lost count after 30 or so rides.
ZERO GRAVITY
This particular ride was Dalton's favorite this year. He went on it at least 15 times! He had never been big enough to get on it . He is the 4the fellow in from the left on the top. No fear.
He liked the train roller coaster too but he said it was a little babyish for him....what like he is 20??? Kids I tell ya!
As you can see by the clouds behind Dalton we though that it was going to thundershower for a bit but it passed right by us! Thank goodness! When we came home, it had rain quite heavily here.

We ran into friends of ours Sue & Jeff and their kids. So Dalton went around with them for a bit . The boys jumped around in those air castles so hard that I felt bad for any other kids inside with them.

Tyson though the best part of the whole night was the slushy and the french fries! He had fun too despite that he doesn't like the rides!
There will be lots to share with Waterfront so stay tuned!
