Color Us Rad!

Up and off early this morning to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the Color Me Rad 5K.  A portion of the proceeds went to Special Olympics Indiana, but we mainly signed up for something fun to do as a family.  We joined up with hoards of people all decked out in white.  Blank canvases to get colored up with.
 

We took our place near the start and got going on our jog/walk. :)  There were 5 color stations spaced along the route.  Three of them where you got pelted with colored powder and 2 where they spayed you with colored water.  After a few stations we looked like this:



And by then end of our 3.1 miles we looked like this:





After we finished we hung around and snagged a few freebies that they were throwing out into the crowd.  Every 5-10 minutes people would their color packets and throw them up in the air for one huge cloud of color


We had a ton of colorful family fun.  Even Dusty (with his OCDness and dislike of getting dirty) survived. 
Bottom line....it was RAD! :)
