Taste the Rainbow

It sounded like a good idea with good intentions at the time.

It really did.

Loriann and Molly agreed.  So much to the point that they helped me convince Dave and Ariel that it would be a good idea too.  

The Color Run- The happiest 5K on the planet.

Now, to be fair, when we signed up for this many months ago we had a plan to actually run this 5K.

Then life happened and none of us (well, not the three of us) are prepared.

Thankfully this 'race' is a walk friendly course and rumor has it there are so many people involved that it's hard to actually run anyways.  Whew!  

The plan is to wear white, go through the course and get as colorful (or dirty) as possible.

Throughout the course there are color stations set up- there are also guys driving around in golf carts squirting the race participants with colored water.  

As you approach the station you run/walk under a sprinkling over water and as you move through the color stations you are doused with powder.  The powder sticks to the water and your quest to become filthy begins.

It was FUN!

There were people of all ages and some even brought their little ones out.

We agreed that this would be a must-do with the kids next summer.

That blue stripe in Molly's hair stuck around for a good 5 days after the event....oopie!

We were all given a color packet to toss in the air during the finish-line celebration.

It was super cool to watch from afar but impossible to catch a true image of what it looked like when you were standing in the middle of all the action.

I love this picture!

Me, Dave, Loriann, Molly, and Ariel

Definitely will do it again!  Good times!
