Color Festival

Ok, so I've wanted to go to this religious festival of some sort at the Hindu Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork EVERY year, but it seems like I always have something going on or just never know when it's happening. So I finally went with some friends and it was a blast. We barely made it on time for the chalk throwing. It's insane let me tell you. Everyone said to keep your mouth closed and I'm like, well yeah of course. But when the time came, I was just yelling the whole time and the chalk just sailed on in. Delicious! The great thing about it is you can throw chalk at people you don't even know and not even feel guilty about it. Take that sucker!

We went early to hopefully avoid the crowd. Yeah, there was no way. There were so many people there. People were jamming out to the live music and even body surfing. Yep, I made it from the front all the way to the back surfing. I wish......

Anyway, it was a good time and glad I got to do it before leaving Utah (I have a very long bucket list of things to do before I leave. Maybe that will be my next series of posts....bucket list #1, #2, etc. I'm well on my way!)

La Familia

My family was in town for a whole week just recently and I got to hang out with them e-v-e-r-y day. We have so much fun together. This is my little niece Lucy on St. Patrick's Day. She is SO adorable and always so happy and giggly.

We had fun during the week teasing each other, eating out, watching BYU basketball, shopping, bowling, etc. My siblings, minus Maranda & Tyler.....

Classic Skating

I don't think I've ever been on skates before in my LIFE!! Rollerblades, yes. Who hasn't? But roller skates are stinkin' awesome. Much harder to navigate, yes, but super fun. I was in charge of a ward activity and classic skating is was. We had a good turn out too. I skated for 2 hrs. straight and didn't fall down even once. Booyah! That is....until it was time for the snowball. Man, it's super hard to skate while holding someone else's hand. You wouldn't think so, but I wasn't used to it. Worth it? Most definitely!
