We were all up at 7:00 am to get ready for today's sports festival, Koby and myself have to be on the school grounds by 8:30 am. I will have to work in between the events that I am participating in, Ueo-san and myself are going to be manning the finish line on all of the races.
The weather looks like it's going to be good, and the fireworks this morning at 6:00 am signified that it was going to happen outside. When I got there I was given a schedule and the finish line tape and told that I would hold the tape for the winners of each race. Norman showed up and was having water gun fights with many of the younger kids that were not participating in the sports festival, the kids sure do like him.
There were many events during the day from relay foot races to throwing balls in a basket, eating contests, rolling large ball relays, dressing up as a scarecrow relays and on and on. It was a full day and everyone got prizes for every event that they participated in.
The prizes ranged from gloves to rolls of paper towels, six packs of beer, soap, tissues, drinks, chips etc. We came home with a large bag of prizes and our team came in second overall. After the sports festival was the after party, where there was food and yes beer, sake and shochu (potato vodka)
After the party ended there was a second after party at Koby's principles house which went on until real late. There was tons of food, drinks, guitar playing and singing. When it was done I was ready to drop. I got home about 10:00 pm so sports festival was from 8:30 am to 3 pm and partying was from 3:30 pm to 10 pm.
I went straight to bed and probably fell asleep in 2 minutes. Tomorrow is Koby's birthday party, so it will be another busy day.
Temp: High - 70
