Extrta Holi-ness

Here is the second half of the fun of that day, 
once the color exploded

We cleaned our faces a little and bought some

of the best food ever.

I can't even describe how delicious that was.

It was a challenge to keep the chalk out of the food.

This will be me in many years time.

What an awesome job.

This chalk covered kid was really cute.

It felt like I had a lot more on my face, but I was mistaken.

The clean up

It was crazy-busy trying to leave (we left around 2:00pm).  So many people were leaving at once, 

but three times that many people were trying to get in.

These were the clean people heading in,

and these were the ones leaving.

Probably my favorite photo of the day.

The whole experience was just awesome.

Pretty sure I still had color in my ears and nose for a week.

More Holi-ness

Holi ~ The Festival of Colors
Celebration of spring and the demise of the 
demon, Holika.
These are photos before the color throwing began.

I pretty much loved everything about this experience, 

so there are a lot

We went really early and got a good parking spot. Hardly 

anyone was there yet.

Cicily made a friend.

We got to walk around the grounds and temple before it

got crowded.  It was a beautiful, peaceful morning about

to be attacked with color and craziness. 

Yay I'm a Llama again!

Didn't even know these existed.

The stare down

Inside the temple was really neat.

This is the field where the color throwing and concerts happen.

Getting our bags of color to throw in the faces on unsuspecting victims.

I was pretty darn excited.

Bindi's!

Someone even got married there! I saw the bride later, covered

in colors; it looked pretty cool.

Cicily trying on 'pure silk' yoga pants.

Holika, the demon that gets burned.

Wesley and the Demon

Hare Krishna! Krishna! Krishna!

It slowly gets more crowded...
