Holi: Festival of Colors 2009

Ever since last year, I have been excited to go to Color Fest! I'm so glad I got to go this year, it was so much fun. I mean who wouldn't want to throw colored chalk in some random persons face?! Haha! Color fest is centered around an old Indian tradition. From what I understand it is to welcome Spring. Anyways, it's held every year in Spanish Fork at the Krishna temple. There are so many people that attend this thing...it's CRAZY! Well anyways, I convienced Jess, Steph, and Logan to all come up for it. And you know what...they were glad they did. We left my house around 4:30, got stuck in traffic for about 1/2 an hour but it was all worth it. When we arrived at the temple, we were told that they were all out of color. I was really sad when I found this out and it kind of put a damper on things for a minute. But it didn't last too long! Five minutes later, some lady started selling color again so me and Dixon joined in the mosh pit type crowd to get some. If any of you know me well, you know I don't do well in tightly confined spaces with large crowds! haha! Needless to say, we ended up scoring a few bags of color just in time to start throwing them. We made our way to the middle of the HUGE crowd and got drenched in color chalk. It was AWESOME!!!! I'm for sure going to try and make it next year...and I suggest that any of you who can make it should! It's one of the biggest things to happen in Utah every year. Anyways there are more pictures below...enjoy :D
