Happy Holi-day

Sunday our neighborhood had a block party to celebrate Holi, the Indian festival of colors. Manish provided the colors, Peter organized the water-fun and a great time was had by all.

Well, when the water play got overly rambunctious Anthony and Ciaran started crying immediately. Anthony definitely prefers vigorous play at a healthy distance. They gave the older kids a wide birth and then all were happy. Anthony spent about 10 minutes coloring Elly's (Ciaran's mom) cheek orange and both boys spent a lot of time making a mess of bubble liquid and spilled color.

After we were done with colors, water balloons, balloon rockets, a waterballoon catapult, and bubbles, we blocked off the street for tricycle time. Then we had a pot luck dinner.
