Although orignially from Spanish Fork, this year was my first year participating in the Festival of Colors at the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. Will Lehmitz joined us in the fun (Tiffani was at the Young Women's broadcast and couldn't make it). If you are interested in the history of this holiday, there is a short article that gives a brief synopsis of the myth it is based on at the following website: http://www.indiamarks.com/guide/Holi-The-Hindu-Festival-of-Color-/2719
Our ascension towards the temple.
Please pay close attention to Jack's shirt in this picture...it says "No Sweat I'm a dancer" on it.
The crowd was unreal. There were thousands of people there.
And the fun begins!
This was actually kind of a yucky kiss because our mouths were covered in dyed starch.
Jackattack and Will flexing their muscles
And the final products...

The celebration was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to attend yet.

I feel a little bit better knowing it was your first year. :) I'll definitely have to go next year!
I wish I could have been there. Will has worked very hard to make his underclothings white again. I loved the pictures!
