A Colorful Race

 Our town held a color run this year as part of the spring festival.  If you're not familiar with the "color run" concept, basically everyone wears a white t-shirt and gets hit with color bombs (usually colored corn starch) as they run.  By the end of the run participants are colorful.  The kids participated in the fun run while I completed the 5k.  
 Here's everyone at the 1-mile start line.  Look how clean everyone looks.
 ...And here's the first dose of color.
 Owen ran through the color cloud to begin his race.
 Olivia must have done a good job of avoiding the color bombs because she did not have that much color on her at the end of her run.
 Owen, on the other hand, looked like he had run into every single color bomb along the route.
 I got hit pretty badly too- and mostly by my own children who kept sneaking color packets and hitting me with them.
The kids lent a hand throwing color at the finish line.  I think that hitting other runners with color was their favorite part.  We definitely had fun at this race, and I was so happy to see a decent turn out.  Hopefully, the city will continue to sponsor this event.
