Terrible Timing

My wife and I went to the Minnesota State Fair on Sunday.  And while it was fun to see everything and spend the day there, I'm pretty sure we picked the hottest day to go.  It was just awful timing.  Later this week it is suppose to cool off, but we planned it out to go on the weekend.  And it happened to be in the high 80s to low 90s with lots of humidity.  It was very sweaty.  As we were getting ready to go, she remembered that we went to the Kansas State Fair every year we were living there and it was like 100 degrees so this couldn't be as bad.  Right?

We played it smart and brought water bottles and just hydrated throughout the entire day.  I kept seeing people walking around with cups of beer and thought that it looked delicious, but stuck with the water.  Because I'm SMART!  And yes, I probably could have had one beer and been fine, but that doesn't replenish all the water you are sweating out.  Also, it was hella expensive for a beer.  It's like beer at a baseball game.  I have never understood that, the price gouging of beer at public events.  Actually, I get it (profit and greed) I just don't like.  

For the most part, the weather wasn't that bad.  Was it hot?  Yes.  Is that better than raining?  Yes.  Could it have been better?  Yes.  There were clouds for the most part during the day and they hid the sun.  That wasn't always the case though, and it seemed like when the sun did come out, all the benches and tables in the shade were occupied.  I look at yesterday, it was sunny but tolerable.  About twenty degrees cooler because it wasn't as humid out.  I look at today, it's overcast and about thirty degrees cooler.  Seriously, it is 56 degrees at the time of this writing. 

I took a few pictures throughout the day.  At some points, it was just too hot to want to take pictures.  However, we sat down just to sit down and cool down a little bit.  While we were sitting down, this family of four sat a few rows ahead of us.  My wife and I both started cracking up because the following happened.  They all pulled out their phones.  Out of context, this is a hilarious photo because this just looks like a family that doesn't want to talk to each other.  However, it's what we do now as a society.  When we stop moving, we go to our phones.  We both thought it was funny and I thought I would share.
