fights and festivals

This week Jace graduated from the RAD kids program...

it was weird that this was the last time

I'd be attending this with a first grader...

time does fly by.

He was super excited to "pepper the eyes"

of the man in red...and he did just that!

Stay back!  You're not my Dad! 

 Do ya see those fist of fury?

 Today...for the first time ever...

we went to Salem for the 

Hare Krishna "Festival of Colors"

...sounds pretty special...

really...just hundreds of people...

throwing bags of dyed cornstarch...

and every two hours...

everyone throws at the same moment.

who would have guessed

it would be so much FUN!

 before...

 an hour or so later...

 Tim has pics of both of us on his phone...

but I am not tricky enough to get them off...

so, you get just me at the beginning of the day.

 the first "throwing"

after 4 hours of throwing...

OH MY CHALKY DUST MESS!

We came home to shower...

the water, soap, and shampoo

were all shades of blue, orange, and pink.

great way to spend a saturday!
