the best fight ever

for ages i've been inspired by, 

and wanting to attempt the holi color fight i'd initially spied over at 

jordan ferney's oh happy day blog.

i finally had the chance! 

matt & i had four high schoolers from our church come stay at our house a couple of weeks ago,

as sort of an alternative to summer camp. 

we had a pretty intense program that we came up with every day,

but we also made sure to include an element of play or creativity.

i was able to buy Holi colors at one of the Indian stores in berkeley.

the color fight was a surprise!

we brought the kids down to our backyard,

made them keep their eyes closed, gave each of them a pile of pigmented powder,

turned on some awesome indian dance music,

and let the games begin!

it was awesome,

and once m got over her initial hesitation, m fully embraced the game.

 (love love love this picture and the pigment she's shaking out of her ponytail)

super fun!
