So tired after field days

Today at my childrens school was field days. They are outside pretty much the whole day in the sun playing games. Today it was 85 degrees.
I did nothing but stand around and watch all day but I am completely exhausted.
My son was absolutely miserable. He was mad he had to wear a shirt that he was given (every kid in the grade had the same shirt so they could be identified). It was purple and he hated it. He poked a bunch of holes in it.
He played three games of flag tag and cried after every time he got out.
He got his face painted and was very picky on what he wanted to have done. He decided on camo. They were running out of time so they had one person do the left side while the other painted his right side. They did it completely different. He hated that and cried over it.
My daughter felt really sick from all the sun and heat.
It was a long exhausting day for all of us.

I just got them to bed and am relaxing on the couch for a few minutes before I head to bed myself. It was my sisters 34th bday as well so we had to wait until they all got home from dinner and then go to her house to have cake and ice cream. Due to this my kids got to bed much later then usual on a school night. My kids won't be going to school tomorrow though due to a dentist appointment so I didn't mind them staying up.

hot temperatures makes you tired even if you are not doing exhausting things.

All the teachers have to stand around in the heat too. Some even play in the games as well. I would have been to hot to do it. I wish I had brought juice for my son as he won't drink water and that is all they had. I know I showed signs by the end of the day of being dehydrated and I drank 20oz of coffee and 12 oz of water.

Those so called field trips probably are not as good as they seem.

These are different then the field trips. The field trips are to museums and things like that where field days are potato sack races, flag tag, bounce house, ball toss etc.
