Story

At 9:30, we met up at Ondy’s, and she dropped us off at the Festival of Colors at 10:00. We had a lot of fun there. Savannah was quite anxious at the start and ran away from anyone trying to throw color at her. She ended up getting tangled in a tree and was not having much fun. Tara took her to a quiet place and talked through some things while the rest of us wandered around to the different booths.

At 11:00, we did the color throw. We also had fun at the playground, looking at the llamas and peacocks, and eating snow cones. We also made beautiful rainbow hair for Savannah and Tara. We finished up around 12:00.

Then we got home as fast as we could, dusted off, and took showers.
