Happy Holi

The story of our Holi Day.

Cam and Annika get ready for their day. They walk out of their apartment onto the street and start walking around the neighborhood. SPLASH. Just missing Annika's ear a water balloon crashes to the ground. Cam looks up and yells... RUN... Cam and Annika run and narrowly are missed by a bucket of water coming from the top of an apartment building.

Cam and Annika decided they need amo and buy colored powder and water guns. After coloring and soaking some young children they decide to play Holi with the children and go after some other teenage kids. The
day was full of coloring other people, soaking other people and being the one colored and the one soaked.

Holi day is a Hindu festival dedicated to lord krishna and pretty much all of Nepal and India, young and old, participate. (Seriously hilarious when you look up and find that an old lady was the one that tried to hit you with a water balloon. Crazy!)
This is at Patan CBR when we celebrated the day before with the children and Staff
