I know this is a little late, but I wanted to post a video for my family and friends not in Utah to see. The last weekend in March, me, David, Courtney, Natalie, Kate, Michelle, and Jared went to the Hare Krishna Festival of Colors down in Spanish Fork, Utah. They hold the festival every year to celebrate spring. They said that last year they had over 10,000 people in attendance. The festival is held at the beautiful Hare Krishna temple. You can eat India food, pet llamas (which I was terrified of doing), dance, shop for pretty scarves and things, etc. Around 4:30 everyone gathers onto the hillside in front of the temple. They light this creepy witch on fire and then do a count down and have everyone throw handfuls of colored chalk into the air. We of course forgot to wait for the countdown and threw most of our bags of chalk before then but here is a video of the countdown and the craziness that occurred:
When everyone threw the chalk into the air, you could not breathe. It was crazy! By the end we were all covered in chalk. We ran to the car and luckily found some toilet paper in the back of David's car. This is probably too much information, but our snot was dark purple! haha. Also, I had pink highlights in my hair for the following three weeks. Just now are the pink highlights FINALLY gone! It was so much fun! We are really glad we went. Here are a few pictures of the event:

Okay the witch thing sounded weird. Well actually the whole thing is kind of weird sounding, but it would be fun.
As for the llama, I can't believe you were scared. I take it you never walked down the end of the road at G&G Cunningham's cabin. There was someone who kept a wild/tame herd there. We went once and walked in the fenced area with them. Two llamas came charging each other and crashed into each other above Craig's head (I think it was Craig's). So a llama behind a fence would be easy!
