It is that time of year again in Charlevoix, and the annual Charlevoix Venetian Festival is in full swing. We went last night, which was kids day and Lizzy got a arm band so she could go on the rides as much as possible. I bought 30 more tickets for the other two. Carol even came along. We stopped in at Subway and got something for dinner. Met George there with the boys. Sherri was working. Also met up with Mr. Bruce, our HapKiDo instructor. He let us know about the band starting up at 9:30 by the band shell. Andrew and Lizzy went on the drop of death ride and I went with them to see how scary it was. You go up like 100 feet and when you reach the top the latches holding the seats lets loose and you free fall to the bottom where in the last five feet you coast to a stop. It was quite the feeling to be up there looking out across Charlevoix seeing everything from above then suddenly you bake down again. We missed the band that was playing and Tina was saying her feet hurt because of her sandals so at 9:30pm we took off and went back home.
