We finally made is to the Festival of Colors! We went with Kristine and Jason and their kids and we had a blast! The Temple is beautiful and people, for the most part, are good sports.
As you know, this was my first time at the festival. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I knew there would a lot of color throwing during the massive group-throw they have every hour, but I did not expect a bombardment the moment we walked it. And that is exactly what happened.
We were looking for the booth to buy ourselves some colors when it happened. I suppose we looked way too "clean" and unsuspecting. A group of girls "welcomed" us with a huge "hey!" when we walked in. In an attempt to embrace the festive spirit I opened my arms and reciprocated with a big, mouth-open "hey!" of my own.
At that moment, to my horror, a huge handful of purple dust was thrown in my face, directly into my mouth. I immediately doubled over gagging, trying to expunge the disgusting chalk from my mouth. So much for a warm welcome...
Needless to say, I was seething for the next ten minutes, constantly spitting purple dust from my mouth. It took me awhile before I could get into the proper spirit of color-throwing (instead of trying to find the horrible perpetrator and stuffing her throat with some chalk of my own).
However, all my experiences after that were good ones. People were mostly kind, throwing dust on your clothes and wishing you a happy spring. Elijah had a great vantage point sitting on Kristine's shoulders and happily showered everyone with purple dust.
All in all, I don't think I would make this a yearly tradition, but I am glad I got to experience it at least once!
Happy Spring!
This is AWESOME! I love the first picture of Kara, so many colors, such a great shot! I wish i had gone before i left utah!
