10,000 Mormons and 25 Hindus

I am so glad spring is here and summer is around the corner. I can't stand the winter. I shouldn't complain, though. This past winter in Utah was so mild compared to what I have experienced in Rexburg, ID. But despite how mild this winter was, I am grateful spring has arrived with warmer weather and brighter days.

This past March I celebrated a Hindu tradition in Utah, of all places. I was surprised to learn that there are Hindus in Utah and they even have a temple. So a group of friends and I went to the Festival of Colors. I won't go into the history or meaning of the festival (you can go to Wikipedia for that info), but basically it is a tradition to celebrate the arrival of spring. I went on the last day and there were a couple hundred people there.

Here are some random pictures taken at the event:

For the next couple of days my snot was very colorful. It was so much fun I felt like a kid again!

Here is one last photo I saw floating around on Facebook and Pinterest. This is so true:
