ColorFun

The Hindu religion is great. So great. Every year, there is a festival called Holi, which is a celebration of burning a witch who ate children...or something like that. I'm not Hindu, so I don't know the details, but I have grown to love this festival.
Spanish Fork has one of two Hindu temples in the entire country. They host a Festival of Colors every March, burn a witch, and thousands of surrounding Mormons (and Hindus alike) throw brightly colored chalk at each other, resulting in a huge, disgusting dust cloud that last for approximately fifteen minutes and multicolored participants.
This year I went with my sister, Chelsea, and my roommate, Tiffany. While it was just the three of us throwing chalk at each other amidst the chaos of the celebration, we were still very happy with the results.

Oh the many fun experiences that came from this... minus the not breathing part. Worth every minute!
