This is me and my friend Lyndall waiting for the fun to begin. People will often walk by you and say you are to clean to be there and throw a hand full of powder at you. This is what we looked like at the very beginning with very little color!!
The sad thing is that the count down was not even close. We still had an hour before it started and we were looking like we belonged in a circus!
I don't know what happened in this picture but it looks like lyndall is screaming at the colors creeping out of her bag.
This is a shot of the temple and the crowd that had started to gather as the countdown grew closer.
People just could not wait and started early.
For a big group of college students (BYU) they didn't follow directions very well and had a hard time counting down with the band on stage.
This is what it looked like as they counted down 3,2,1....... The colors started flying and people were pushing, at first it was beautiful but then.......................................
It started to grow darker..................................................................
and darker.......................................................
Until it almost looked like it was night time. It was cramped, hard to breath and very loud!!
Last year I was late and was only able to see the colors from the outside and wondered what it would be like to be in the middle of the crowd. I found that out this year and now that I have experienced it from both perspectives I am content and will probably not go back next year. I am to old for that kind of crowd!!
If you want to see a video of what it looked like I found this on YouTube. Someone other than myself was willing to sacrifice their camera.

This is what we looked like when all was said and done!!! You turn almost BLACK because the colors just mix together!
