Woodstock...G rated

So I went to celebrate the Festival of Colors at my local Hindu temple. While everyone, myself included, go and take copious pictures of colored individuals, I thought I'd take this opportunity to bring some pictures of the characters at the festival.



This young man made the unfortunate error of talking loudly enough for me to hear whilst I was eating. My favorite thing he said, "This is like Woodstock!!!"

Really?

Has this young man ever been to Woodstock?

Obviously he has.

This guy is just cool and smart cause he's got science goggles!


Guh, this couple was just so ridiculously in love it was...ridiculous.


(sorry this is sideways) What I loved most about this guy is that he claimed to have 25 bags of chalk...and I believed him! Holy Cow! How was he going to use it all! I just had three bags...


This guy was my favorite!!! If you look closely, he carefully painted from his chin to forehead a rainbow of colors with chalk! <3

Easter Bunny?

With the way this festival goes down...it's not woodstock...but I wouldn't call it Temple Atmosphere either...Hence why I love this oxymoron of a sign!

I came here last year for the festival and the thing is...this stuff wasn't here before. This leads me to believe that they are doing very well for putting this festival on. Very well indeed. Way to be amazing Hindu temple!

I don't really know what these animals are called D: But they were enjoying the festival as well. They prefer orange chalk.

The last and best thing I'll be sharing with you is the food. The red stuff tasted like chili and I do love me some spinach! Oh it was yummy! And I've had Indian food. It's very spicy and weird. But luckily I'm in Utah where they believe in dumbing down all the spices for our little baby Americanized mouths :D And boy was it delicious!

Picquitachures

It's about time for an update friends. I've got loads of pictures that I've wanted to share in the past couple of weeks, but just haven't gotten around to it. As such, I've weened out most of them down to the photos that I like the best :D
Oh so pretty! This is the top of the mountain at Sundance. If you are actually there in person, you can see my house (ok...not really...I don't own a house)! Also if you are there in person, I suggest you go down Bishop's Bowl (or get good enough to do so) because then you can fulfill a dream of mine for me. If I get to go skiing one more time up at Sundance I WILL go down Bishop's Bowl. As it is I have no intention of going skiing within the next few weeks, and I feel that is going to be all the time I have to go because the snow is slowly, but surely, melting away...
On a lighter note, I look like an Oompa Loompa. I was privileged to go to Festival of Colors! (p.s., this picture gives me such exquisite joy, at first I thought I'd be annoyed that I looked like an oompa loompa...but now I <3 it!).It was 1) in an effort to educate myself as to other religions and 2) to have fun...I didn't do too hot on the first one though because I don't even know what the festival is about...uhm...but I think it's an interesting festival none the less...
:D I got a care package from my old young women's leader! I have to say that though I love the whole package, these two things were definitely at the top of the list of things that made me uncontrollably happy. The item on the left is a Dora the Explora toothbrush. Yes I have tried to use it and yes it does now just sit on my vanity in disuse, but the fact that I own one makes me giggle a little each time I see it! The item on the right is AMAZING! I LOVE PEZ!!! I have to honestly keep myself from eating too much of the stuff by reminding myself I don't want diabetes when I'm older. This link will take you to two pez dispensers that I own that are my prize and joy, C3P0 and R2D2. This goofy one will soon be added to it. It reminds me of my sister, for it her boyfriend hehehe...anyways, I would collect pez dispensers if it weren't for the fact that they, on the most part, look cheaply made...and I don't collect cheap.

If you don't know what I'm pointing at...that is very unfortunate for you. Go watch 'The Emperor's New Groove'!It is a llama. It is amazing (though that one was going to spit on me, I could tell). It was also the fattest llama there, you just can't tell from the picture. I love animals :D and whenever I get a chance to see an 'exotic' one, I tend to get overly excited. There was a peacock there too...but those annoy me.Lastly, here is my sister! :D I am proud to announce that she is back from a 1 and 1/2 year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! Already I must report that she has a facebook, a cellphone, and has probably read the rest of the Twilight Series that she had to catch up on by now. She has always been a fast learner and a smart cookie. I'm so proud of her service and will reward her in the future with a trip to see her boyfriend (goofy...at disneyland...ha...ha...) to be sure! I also still need to ask her how many llama's she saw on her mish...cause I have proof that I've seen one, and I've always been competitive about these things.

So there you have it. Random updates about various things that I wanted to blog about but never got around to it. :D
