The Color Run

Last year, some of my family was able to do the Color Run and had an absolute blast. This year, we made sure we registered and made it to the run. Unfortunately, nobody else could go, but we had so much fun! When we got there, the music was playing loud and there were tons of people dancing and running around and the kids were just staring and totally baffled as to what we were doing. We tried to give the kids a head's up as to what was about to happen, but they didn't really get what was going on and were way too distracted with people watching.

Every kilometer we went through a color station where we would be dusted with colored powdered. Bentley was very surprised going through the first one and didn't like it too much. In between the color stations Eden just couldn't resist herself and kept trying to clean Bentley off, which of course was driving him nuts.

With each color station, Eden got more and more excited and Bentley got more and more upset. As we would start approaching the archway of another color dusting, Bentley would turn and reach for me saying, "Mommy...mommy..." so I ended up carrying him and trying to shield him a bit through the last couple - and he would still cry. ha ha

We made it to the end though and it was way fun. Everyone was celebrating and dancing and throwing more powder at the finish line and it was fun to hang out for a bit. By this time Bentley was totally happy because he was no longer being completely dusted.

Somewhere in the crowd, Eden ended up finding a packet of hot pink powder and was so excited to throw it around. I think Bentley got the worst of it, but he was totally cool with Eden doing it.

That pink ended up being the hardest to get out. Eden's bangs had a nice tint for a few days, and Bentley's scalp looked extra pink for a while. It was all worth it though. I'm so glad we did this and look forward to doing more things like this in the future.
