HOT - HOT - HOT - HOT
That pretty much sums up the day. We were able to keep the athletes cooled down yesterday with buckets of ice water and plenty to drink. Unfortunately the heat was too much for Kay Cummings, who is recovering from cancer. He had to be taken to the hospital. His son continued the games in his absence.
I had the chance to meet a lot of new athletes as well as socialize with ones I've known for years. We are working towards forming a local group of highland athletes to train together.
Amator was a big help to me as well as our friend Doc who was totally amazing and worked his butt off delivering water and cool wet towels to the field at regular intervals. I was fortunate to get family members to join me yesterday. I'm pretty sure my brother's girlfriend will have him kilted before long.
I did not have a chance to visit any of the tents. Mom was able to get by and see Clan McBubba and the Tartan Museum. The kids stayed busy all day and Carlie got a face painting that looked awesome.
I'll post what pictures I have soon. Mostly the pics are of the parade. I was just too busy at the game to get many pics.
