Color Run and a Picnic - 165/365

Today was the long awaited Color Run. We have been so excited to do this, we couldn't wait! Everyone met at our house and we were off to the Covelli Center! We got there to find an amazing amount of people. There was supposedly 6000 people that participated.
We started in our all white gear, we were sparkling clean. We didn't know what to expect when we got to the color stations, but we were excited.
The first color was blue. They were just throwing this powdery, chalky stuff at you and shooting it out of picnic style ketchup bottles, it was a hoot! The air, streets, absolutely everything was BLUE! Too funny!
We walked all through downtown, while passing through the color stations. We got braver and went for more color in each station! Too funny! We were a full blown rainbow by the end.
Reagan really liked the whole thing, too. We brought a stroller, but she pretty much walked the whole time! She was loving it!
At the end, they had the huge colorful arcs in every color that you walked under and they had tons and tons and tons of colored confetti that you could play in, too! We had so much fun taking pictures in the confetti!
After it was over, we were afraid that some of the color wouldn't come off our skin or clothes. When we got home, we got cleaned up and everything came right off, Reagan's bath water turned green though, it was too funny!
Our clothes were as white as when we put them on, after just one trip through the washer. Awesome!
The whole experience was a blast and we can't wait to do it again.
This afternoon, we were headed up to a picnic at Matt and Nikki's house. They were having the whole Cvetkovic family up for an afternoon of family fun.
It was so great to see everyone! We all had a nice time catching up and getting to spend some time together.
Matt and Nikki had quite the spread of food. They did chicken and Nikki's famous ribs. YUM! Everyone else contributed a side or dessert to help out.
The kids had a blast in their bouncy house. They practically spent every minute in there.
Adrienne brought a pinata for them, they all really loved taking a swing at that!
Nikki, also had a special cake for Jim, since he takes over as Boardman Rotary President in two weeks. It was so sweet of her to go out of her way to acknowledge such a special time for Jim.
What a great day!
The first picture is the "Bright Britts!"
Next, Jim's President cake.
Finally, the kids smacking the pinata.
