Girls Weekend To Boise

While McKay and Layne went to Denver, my friends Jenny, Kritika, and Majia went to Boise to take Kritika to a Hindu temple (because she is Hindu.)  We wanted to go just to see what it was like.  We did other things while we were there but that was the big one.  We had a lot of fun!
We went shopping...
On the trip we found a bead store.  I have never been to one but it was super fun.  We stayed there for a couple hours making earrings.  
Making some earrings!!
The necklace and the top row of earring are the ones I made.  The others are what Majia, Kritika, and Jenny made.
Kritika brought a whole bunch of clothes from Nepal and we tried them on at the hotel.
Before the hotel, we went to a Hindu temple and it was interesting.  Kritika was weirded out because in Nepal the temples were quiet sacred places, but here it was loud with people singing, dancing, throwing water, and sniffing flowers.  She said she felt more spirit at the Rexburg Temple open house than there.  They tried to get us all to dance, but we were like "No thanks.  We will just watch."  After the hour or so of dancing, they invited us to their feast and then to play Holy.  I don't really understand the point of Holy, but you throw powdered and liquid paint at each other.
