the spectrum song

red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue

red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red red.

That song has been running through my head all weekend! Why? Because of the Holi Festival of course! Otherwise known as the Festival of Colors. For those of you who are unaware of what this amazing event is, I will tell you. It is this Indian festival at the Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork. It is basically a celebration welcoming in spring and you take a bunch of colored chalk and throw it around!!! It's basically the most FUN thing I have done all month... well, besides going to Vegas. Anyway, Pictures don't even do this event justice, but I will share my favorites anyway :)

We were CLEAN!! Well... almost. We wanted a picture where we were completely clean, but some meanies threw color on us as we were making the looong walk from our car to the temple...rude.

 Before the Ceremony. So clean, So Happy!!

Isn't the temple super cool? Yeah, it looks strait out of Aladdin.

I got told I look like an Avatar... As long as I get to date Jake Sully... I'm down!!

This would be my brother Trever Nicoll... he is great.

The 4 of us just had a blast and a half. No lie, I love these people to death

One of my favorite pictures!

Take note of the snow on the mountains... yeah...

Goof-balls...

One of my favorite pictures of the day!

My lovely roommate.. Love her! Only 2 1/2 more weeks :(

Wouldya LOOK who we saw there! I love them. 4 altos, senior year :)

As we walked home we started to de-chalk ourselves so it didn't get all over the car.

Trev looked like this.

AND it was hilarious, I really couldn't stop laughing at how silly he looks.

my de-chalking phase. One pink eye and one purple eye. I thought it looked pretty cool! Also, I think I am going to dye my eyebrow purple from now on :)

I know, I am aware that I look emo in this picture... But I wanted to capture my hair!! Although I didn't do a great job of capturing the whole effect of the hair.... I'm surprised all the color came out!! A lot of girls with blond hair still have pink streaks in their hair...

 Yeah, we did a pretttty good job of getting most of the chalk off! But, Troy still looks like a clown.

ANYWAY! I really just love love loved the Festival of Colors!! I went with the funnest people ever and really had a lot of fun! I'll definitely be coughing up color for the next month because of the HUGE cloud of color that I was engulfed for about 2 minutes but It's okay. I loved it. When a thousandfold of people all throw their chalk in the air at once, you literally can't see a thing besides pink and purple and cannot breathe!! There was chalk EVERYWHERE! I literally sneezed purple, my earwax was red, and my shower was a plethora of colors. It was so great!!! :)

AND yes, everyone who didn't go this year NEEDS to go next year. 

I know I will be there!!!
