Sports Festival
Last week Jay attended his first "Undo-kai" (ι‹ε‹•δΌš) or "Sports Festival" as a kindergarten student.
   

The school has a large exercise field in a wooded area.
Two students assisted the principal with the opening announcements.
Jay's year did a flag march in entering the field.
It was not always easy to keep one's mind on the marching.
Children from an older year dressed as witches on brooms.

Jay, in monkey costume, retrieves fruit in a relay race.
Yes, the monkey costumes included tails.
Older children played kazoo-type instruments.
More older children danced with colorful pom-poms.
Jay's year did a second dance.

It seems that 75% of TV ads for video cameras feature sports festivals
