Gaurav and I had been to Holi @ Stanford over 5 years back before we had kids and it was lot of fun. So, we decided to try it out again this year with kids.
We had mentally prepared Kavya that Holi is about colors and water and lots of fun. So, she was all excited and looking forward to it. Besides, her friends, Rutvi and Keya were also going to come. So she couldn't wait.
We started the preparation today morning - applied oil to the hair as well as on body and got dressed in old clothes which we could just throw away. We also packed a pair of good clothes and some garbage bags so that we can change/wrap in to avoid getting colors on the car seat.
Ishaan slept off in the car and so was not in very happy mood when we got there.. but overall we had a great time. Kavya loved throwing colors on everyone. The crowd there was quite big. The music was good. We danced for a while. And then headed to the food counter. The kids loved the mango lassi and it was then that we discovered that Ishaan knows how to drink with a straw :)
We got to the car and changed into clean pair and got home. It took some rubbing to take the colors off. Except for some red color on Gaurav's face, we were able to remove it all.
We will most likely do this again next year. Hopefully, Ishaan will enjoy it more next year.
