Our recent trip to Reno was filled with unusual events and sights. First of all we drove down and did it as quickly as possible with a stop in Bend Oregon to visit our good friends the McDoles.
We arrived in Reno late on a Friday night and just sat around Saturday and played in the pool.
The best part of Saturday was going to downtown Reno for their first ever "Tomato Food Fight". We're talking 5 tons of tomatoes dropped in the middle of the square where people paid $10.00 to enter and throw food. The money went to charity.
As we approached the area we realized (wisely I might add) that this could get out of control so we went up two stories in a parking garage that overlooked the whole area. This way we could keep the kids safe and just enjoy the commotion.
Here are a few choice photos:

The End
We really felt safe up there in the parking garage watching all the "crazy" people. That is until a tomato came flying by and almost hit us. The crowd below was getting a bit tired of easy targets and chose to try and hit anyone out of reach. Picture the carnival game where you try to hit the clown with one ball....that was us.....the clowns.
We were hit several times but the kids loved it and enjoyed throwing the tomatoes back into the crowd below. Hailey had a great shot at one of the guys below and it was fun to watch him get hit and wonder who it could have come from!
If anyone gets a chance to see something like this I say "GO". It was a lot of fun.
