East Nashville Tomato Festival

Our neighborhood puts on this festival every year. It's quite the event to celebrate a piece of food. They go overboard with costumes and tomato themed everything and it is a blast! We celebrate the tomato as "a uniter, not a divider… bringing fruits and vegetables together." I'm already looking forward to next years festival. Samuel got to run his first official race. He's so proud of his participation medal. 

The cheering squad… 

 Music and dancing and costumes in the middle of the street…
Both kids got their faces painted. Samuel LOVED his and was in tears when we had to wash it off. He has carried this picture with him many places to show others…
 Emma was a beautiful butterfly, but hers was smeared before we left the face painting booth…

 The guy at this booth let them play his drum and use his microphone. So exciting…
 Emma's face paint by the time we got home… :)

It was so fun to be in Nashville for this! Had a great time playing drums with Sam and Emma and watching their excitement over it all.
