Kids taking Cider break at State Fair

Yesterday I took my grandchildren and their cousin to the Wisconsin State Fair. This is something we have done before and saw a lot and had some fun. However, yesterday there were too many people and too much technology for this to happen. The lines to get in, the lines at rides, lines to get food were very long. Even walking amidst so many people was difficult and made walking around slow. The first thing we did in the fair was to get something to drink, 100% Apple Cider drinks that were less expensive than the bottled water.

Around noon we came out of the State Fair to meet my daughter-in-law who had come down to go to the fair and pick up children to take home after. Then we ran into tech problems. There were so many persons in and around the fair using cell phones that the cell network was constantly busy and I could not get or received phone calls.

When we finally met up with my daughter-in-law and we all finally got back in the fair we were so thirsty. I went to get some more cider drinks while my daughter-in-law took the children on some rides. When I returned I could not find them and could not call them on the cell phone or received their call. I waited at the entrance-way to the rest of the fair grounds but finally went to the crème puff parlor, one of the places we were going to visit. They were not there but I finally got through on the cell phone and arranged to meet them back where I had originally been waiting for them. They had been delayed by the long lines for the rides.

By the time we got together I only had time to walk with them back to the Wisconsin food exhibit where I got the cider drinks. Then I had to leave to take my son to an appointment. We did not get to do some of our favorite things like visiting the DNR outdoor exhibits, seeing the pig races and, most importantly of all, enjoying a crème puff.

When I called them later I found out that did a few things but because of long lines they did not even get a crème puff. Too many people and too many cell phones took something away from my State Fair experience yesterday.
