Sound of Music Festival 2010

We love to attend the "Sound of Music Festival" every year in Burlington.  It is touted as being one of the best 100 festivals in Canada. We started the annual Thursday to Sunday Festival off with attending the big concert - Vancouvers' "Mariana's Trench". We were squished with 25,000 other people that wanted to hear them! The sea of people in Spencer Smith Park was unbelievable.  I'm surprised nobody fell in the lake!

 

Little people like Avalon couldn't see much and didn't much like being stuck in the crowd!  But she did enjoy the parade with all the floats and marching bands galore and the carnival rides!

We loved the Caribana festivities the best!

 

                            

                                                                              
                                      

There were lots of vendors (love my vendors!) - these roses look real - but they are actually wooden!

 

Avalon always loves the rides - a bit difficult when she is an "only child" now! Hee Hee - I had to join her on some rides.  Those carnival rides are so expensive! They work out to be about $5.00 each!  

                     

Three days of riding the rides - a busy weekend filled with fun, but we really missed her "sister-in-crime, 

Trinity"! It's hard being an only child - especially when you need a partner for the rides!
