Not a cloud in the sky. All the more reason for umbrellas.

This is the last of the Sports Day posts. Above are pictures reflecting some additional observations.
#1 – Umbrellas: The sunshine and heat was fierce that day. I almost left my umbrella at home, but certainly glad I did take it with me. Every tree (thus every bit of shade) was already claimed by the time I got there, and in order to see each event, I had to be out in the sun. My umbrella — along with a hat and suntan lotion — saved me from some serious sunburn.
#2 – Colorful jerseys: In general, very few of the kids wore sporting uniforms or outfits. Many, however, did wear bright jersey shirts in a variety of colors.
#3 – Officiating: The event organizers clearly did not have enough adults assigned to officiate the events, so John was quickly recruited to work at the discus area. In the picture he is helping to measure and mark distance lines.
#4 – This man used the rubber tube to chase people (mostly kids)away from certain areas. Such tubes are often used by teachers to punish kids during class, so the kids knew to keep a large distance between them and this man. I wasn’t willing to take a chance on getting close to him either.
