Well, I didn't plan on going this year, but then I took my daughter (6.5) on Sunday. Not sure what our motivation was, but we wanted to go.

Figured there was some cloud and rain in the forecast, so it'd be quiet.

Arrived at 1pm, it was eerily empty and we practically had the place to ourselves. But then the rain never happened and the sun stayed out, so the crowds started growing.

In the end, I spent too much money, got sunburnt, my feet hurt, my daughter and I ate some junk food, went on some rides, and won a few prizes. We left at 5pm because the crowds were getting shoulder-to-shoulder and that felt weird and I didn't like it anymore... So basically a typical Stampede.
