There is a Indian Temple in Spanish Fork where the festival takes place and all 3,000 people who attended threw brightly colored chalk in the air and at each other to welcome Spring!
Top 5
1) I felt like a kid again! I still have a little CRAZY left in me :)
2) The 10-year-old kid who got separated from his family crowd surfing to get reunited:)
3) Having fun with my girls-some of them need to learn to let loose sometimes
4) Looking and feeling the contrast between their beliefs and our beliefs-its good for my little Utah born and raised girls to get a taste of the world
5) The look on Josephs face when I came home COVERED in color!! Priceless
Bottom 5
1) Having to wait and extra HOUR for the colors because of technical difficulties......what could that have even been??? What is technical about throwing chalk at each other??
2)The inside of my car in now pink: the girls didn't want to shake the chalk off their clothes for the ride home because they wanted to show their moms how covered they got
3)I leaned over and told one of my leaders, "this is kind of a high school thing- don't you think?" She then informed me that most of the people who attend are in college and I was just getting old!
4)Joseph didn't come with us :( He stayed home with Bree:)
5)The "preacher" telling the audience that there are "two ways to love each other, horizontal and vertical....."awesome mr.preacher man-I appreciate the chastity lesson

This post wins the funniest title award : )
Seriously though, that looks AWESOME! I love doing things that remind me that I still have a little CRAZY left in me! I'm pushing 30 now so those moments are becoming fewer and further in between! Obviously I need to hang out with YOU more! Chalk throwing, Zumba work outs, Mud wrestling races, you really know how to get crazy! ; )
Two most priceless parts of this post:
1) pic of you all chalked up.
2) vertical and horizontal love quote : )
THERE is the Melinda I know and love!!!!
Man! Nobody could explain to me what the Festival of Colors was until afterwards... I totally would have gone. Boo... I have to wait a whole year now. But, yeah, I don't understand why people are so against "different." I love that stuff. I am going to force my kids to learn about all kinds of cultures and, yes, religions. Sheltering isn't the same as teaching. I am very passionate about this, can you tell?
sweet! i wish I had an excuse to do something like this! fun!
