2nd Annual Turkey Trot

Joseph and his siblings arranged one of these last year and decided we needed to keep it a tradition. This year we did it the Saturday after Thanksgiving which was so much easier for us—after the rush of the holiday was much better.


We had a great turnout too. Lots of Adams family came (Joseph's great-grandpa was a turkey farmer so they have turkey love in their blood :) We had Bruce and Lynette and 3 of their kids (and spouses), Dave and Andrea and all their family, Uncle Dan and his little Samuel (Bean's age), and then Jim, Mary and Seth and crew, all of my family and Cec and her 3 oldest. Mike and Lydia who recently moved for work were in town too and joined in.

 

Luckily it was another lovely November day (for Utah anyway :) and went off without a hitch. Bentley was out of the gates like a little sprinter and he kept up the lead with Joseph and Ethan while I pushed my littles in the double stroller. When hubby passed me on his way back he took the stroller back with him and I got to run for about a mile and 1/2 to round out a 5K. Then we all hung out at the pavilion eating fruit and muffins and snacks everyone had helped bring while kids played around on the playground.

 Had to rock the snazzy tights.
They are fleece-lined and super warm and I'm thinking I need a second pair in another color or print.

Hubby shaved his chin for the old trucker look just for the race :)

 Cousins ready to run!

Eth and Will did great during the run and then went home and both threw-up later that afternoon, and then Maddie was sick after them :( The gift that kept on giving! Somehow my family escaped the germs...no idea how that happened...

 Cares and Tillie

Tillie came later with Seth and the kids since they had a friend's baptism to attend.
She didn't run in jeans—just came to hang out with all of us.

(Joseph was done pretty quickly so he went back to get our Caresie who was determined to keep going and make it the whole way. She felt slow but did so well for a 7 year old! You can see him behind Cares coming to the finish for the 2nd time)

 Luke loved the Adams' dogs and they happily shared lots of yummy bites :)

 Cute Braunies

Leo LOVES my hubby! 

He is actually a huge fan of any and all dads (not women so much) which is funny and endearing.

 Beans and Finch—cool dudes

Love this cute pic of these 3. They were the first ones done with the race (along with Ethan). Speedies!

Who is up for next year's race? We'll be there!
