Festival of Colors 2011.

This past weekend was a Buddhist holiday, those Buddhist's know how to throw a party.

You buy the chalk and start throwing it everywhere.

My boys just looked at us like, "It's okay for us to throw chalk at eachother?"

"Yeah, it's okay, so get dirty, you've got a lot of chalk to go through."

I didn't have to ask them twice, they got busy and Cooper got down to the music.

Easton was having fun throwing chalk and dancing.

Um... so this is my 2nd child, Elijah crowd surfing (Brooke was with him every step of the way and there was no alcahol served so until they are adults this is the only time I will let my children crowd surf). Everyone was very watchful of the kids while they were surfing. They actually all went (each at seperate times). Rustin was the frist (I didn't get my camera out in time), Elijah went next and Cooper wanted to go too. His picture is farther down below. The crowds were cheering for all the little kids. So if you asked them what their favorite part of the whole day was, you'll hear them say, "crowd surfing" hands down. Breanne, Preston and some of their friends came down for the weekend. This is Cooper's picture crowd surfing, he's up toward the front so you can't see him too well.

My boys love being dirty, so for them this is the best family picture.

Glad my husband isn't such a stick in the mud and is willing to have a good time.

Easton looks like a little orphan boy.

Coop loved, loved, loved it.

My colorful Elijah.

My purple Rustin.

The boys wanted to go through their temple, so they did. It's good to expose them to different kinds of beliefs, different people believe different things. That's what makes this world so great, we were so glad we could share this with them.

Me and Breanne.

We washed off in some hot springs close by. I kid you not, this water was crystal blue and we all turned it muddy muddy brown from all the chalk on our bodies, hopefully it has recovered from us by now. We had to drain it a little bit because it was so bad. We literally had chalk in all kinds of places.

We saw some kayakers while we were soaking. This place is awesome!

Us in the muddy, muddy water. We'll have to come back and soak in the blue water some time soon.
