Things I've learned today:
- A "calm" kids holi party can get crazy!...and lots of fun for the adults too!
- Holi powder really stings in the eyes.
- Holi colors go through clothes onto skin.
- Holi colors do not come off skin, nails, or out of hair...even with a loofah!
- Holi is FUN!!!
Holi is celebrated by making colorful water and putting in various buckets or kids swimming pools. Then you use water guns or water gun "syringes" to squirt anyone & everyone. Colored powder is another way of coloring.
There are parties all around town that make our party look tiny...but personally, I think our party was just Perfect!!
Benjamin wasn't to sure he liked this Holi thing at the beginning, but he warmed up to it. After our group photos, the apartment complex turned on their sprinkler system...which only added to the fun.
I'm sure Sam & Mak's blogs will have more photos soon. It was hard to pick a few out of the 300 pictures that were taken during this 1 hour time period!

| This little boy & his older sister spend all day with their mom that does rakes leaves across the street from our hotel. We have interacted with them for the past year, but it was fun today to have a chance to really include them while we "played Holi" |
