John's last day

Today was Johnathan's last day to be with the kids. He had a great summer here and we had a great time too. So today to make things special we went to Kingston to the mini golf/ go cart/ movie/ amusement ride park. Then to Chucky Cheese. The boy's all of them had a great time. First they rode on the go carts. Their package included 6 laps but it wasn't busy so they both got 8.

Johnathan was big enough he got to ride alone.

But Dalton had to ride with me while John stayed with Tyson. He was laughing the whole time watching us kids play. He unfortunately wasn't big enough yet.

Then they decides to go to the amusement rides. They rode so long on most of them that they got sick of it. Ever heard of such a thing? The rides lasted at least five minutes each. They got eight rides a piece.

They went on the scrambler twice, the big slide once, the spider 3 times, and the tilt a whirl twice. The spider was their favorite.

Dalton liked the big slide. He always does. Tyson would have liked that one too but we went and played in the water park instead while the boys went on the rides.

After the rides, they went to play their game of mini gold. that too came in their package. All for $20.00 each, I didn't think that that was bad at all. And they had tons of fun for the day.

Then by that time they were all starving! Or at least whining about it. So we headed over to Chucky Cheese. They choose a peperoni pizza and played a bunch of games. We got home about 5pm so I think it was a good last day.

We only had one problem all day.....

Chucky the mouse came in our row. Just our row and this was what happened!

Tyson absolutely freaked out. He hated that big Ol' mouse! So he didn't come anywhere near him after that, and trust me Tyson watched everywhere he went! The kids had fun though and we had a great summer. Thanks John!

Woo Hoo back to school Tuesday!

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!

Riverfest

Well this weekend is Victoria day and they always have river fest in Frankford which is a little village not too far from us. Takes about 10 minutes at most to get there. Anyway we generally go on Saturday night because they have great fireworks. Better than almost any I have seen. they lasted about 20 minutes so you know it was a good show.
Darin's mom came down and went for a four wheeler ride and then to the neighbours and off to Frankford too. By the way thanks for weeding and planting the flowers in my flowerbed !!
Dalton likes to go because it has rides too. anyway after we went over to Tracy & Kevin's for supper and a visit for her birthday, ( cake pictures are next post) we headed out to Frankford.

Tyson was watching all the things going on and didn't seem much interested in the rides unless Dalton was on one, but you couldn't get him to go on one.

The tickets were very expensive this year. It was 25.00 for 20 tickets and each ride was 3 tickets. I found that a little steep. Regardless the kids had fun.

A goofy face for Mom... what a kid.. rides and more rides. Even grandma went on a few with him.

Can't see them too well but here were one of the fireworks. They were so pretty.

During the fireworks we ran into one of Dalton's friends from school Thomas. His family is living in a trailer right now because they had a fire in their home. The school has done lots to help them so they are doing OK for now.
Anyway Dalton was glad to see him and the last ride of the night was the Ferris wheel. They had a ton of fun because they could see the entire park from up there.
We went back home and Darin went back over to the neighbours because the party was still going!
Happy Victoria Day!!
