{Holi Color Festival}

This last Saturday the hubs and I joined with Dan and some other friends and headed to the Holi Festival. It is basically a religious Hindu festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the coming of spring. I like both of those things and so we decided to celebrate as well, plus, who doesn't love throwing colorful chalk at people and dancing to awesome music? 

My Aunt Noelle was a saint and watched Baby Girl for us for about 6ish hours so that we could go - serious bonus points for her and her cute family.

This is our group before we went into the festival - look how clean and white we are!

 me and the handsome hubs

 I have always wanted pink hair. Always. I think I can rock this look - thoughts? Maybe one day I will just up and dye it pink....maybe... probs not.

 See these girls crowd surfing? I did that. Yes, I did! I don't have a picture of me surfing because the husband was too concerned with keeping on eye on me and where I ended up as opposed to taking pictures. But yes, I did crowd surf - cross that off my bucket list! Seriously an exhilarating feeling.

 

I might have gotten blue chalk thrown in my face/mouth while I was crowd surfing which caused me to spit blue for the next few hours...ok, it's true - lovely, I know.

  Here's the whole gang - kudos to the girl on the right side of the photo blocking traffic for us :)

Here's our "after" picture - ha!

 this is me, just chillin with the llamas!

 On the walk back to the car we were denied entrance into this grocery store. This was the first time I've been discriminated against because of my "color" haha! Thought it was too funny! The store was selling hot dogs and drinks outside though and we did take up that offer :)

Aren't we goodlooking?!

 Driving back home!! [actually, this is driving back from our house to Dan's house because he left his keys in our car....and this is actually a few seconds before we nearly got in an accident. Crazy guy pulling out of a parking lot without looking....aughhh - it's amazing how quickly you can react without really thinking about it. Thanks to my quick slamming on of the brakes and honking of the horn we narrowly escaped a collision.]

 Sunglasses - most brilliant idea ever for this craziness.

Saw this being shared around facebook and thought it was too great to pass up :)

 

Yes, we did go home and shower real quick before heading over to pick up Evette. Kylie, my cousin, had just gotten back from the festival when we dropped Evette off at her house and her painted face freaked Evette out pretty bad and made her cry a lot - so sad! So we definitely wanted to shower before we picked her up :)

Great day! Thanks to Dan for inviting us to go! It was our last chance before we moved and I'm so glad we were able to go and spend time with some great friends!!
