Weekend Continued!

Some how I got the pictures to work. I didn't do anything different... maybe my internet was just lame earlier! haha. So on saturday we went to the Festival of Colors. It was at the Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork. I had imagined how it was going to be... and this was not it. I wasn't expecting a legit temple. But it was. You can see it in the background of this picture.
So you go to the Temple and people are throwing like colored powder. I can't really think of a better way to describe it. It's not paint. Anyways it was way fun.

There was so much stuff in the air. It was seriously crazy. There were people everywhere. My friend Alyssa has been helping putting the event together and they said that 40,000 people were projected to attend.

There was a band and they were singing the name of the Hindu God over and over and everyone was singing along and dancing. There were large of people crowd surfing. You wouldn't know when they are coming and all of sudden there is someone on top of you falling everywhere. Totally dangerous... but fun!
Even though Spanish Fork is only 20 minutes away from Provo, the crowds were so huge that it took us hours to get to and from the place! We parked at least a mile away and had to walk. I was not expecting this to be such a huge deal, but it was great!

After the Festival of Colors we came home and took a much needed shower. Feeling clean, Laura and I and some other friends headed up to the canyon to have (another) bonfire. When we got there, Jake began unloaded the wood out of the back of the car, but when he put the key in the trunk and turned it the key snapped in half!
It was Laura's car and Jake felt so bad. Haha. He called AAA and they fixed it, but it took a long time! In the mean time we had an awesome fire and I had a smores! Delicious!

When the fire died out and Laura had a new key made, we decided that Denny's hot chocolate was needed.

All in all a fun weekend in Provo!
