Once again we started our Thanksgiving day off by waking up early, strapping our shoes on, grabbing our ipods and child and heading off to run 5 miles at the Turkey Trot. We tried to head to the back of the pack since we have a jogging stroller but the back of the pack soon became the middle since there were around 15,000 people lined up. I think it was more crowded than last year. We competed well and the whole time I only managed to get tripped by a dog once and literally ran into one person, who decided to stop running and walk right in front of me. It was a very fun race and I was proud to be the family winner this year. Though I am sure Andy would have won if he did not have to navigate the stroller through tons of people. So I guess I had a slight advantage. My parents did well too. It was great running along side my dad since I have never done that before. As a kid I used to cheer him and my mom on as they competed in races and now it is fun to join in with them. Now it is time to rest the feet for a bit and then start working on the next race.
The runners!

Is this Easter or Thanksgiving? Emma was in love with this Easter egg that spins around like a top.
