This year’s Thanksgiving was great. We went back and forth to both of our parent’s houses, and crammed in two feasts. Uncle Ray and Aunt Val were in town for ours, and my dad made a stop in after getting home from Africa a few hours earlier. (I definitely have a lot of my dad in me!)
The highlight of my day was the Turkey Trot. Not only did I complete the entire 5K without stopping (which has never happened), but Scout tried the children’s race for the first time. He totally had his game face on while he was lined up with the hundreds of other kids. Micah lined up with him while Icka, Skilly, Calin and I were in the crowd to cheer him on. When the race started, it took a few minutes for Scout to show up, but when he did, it was a priceless sight. He was running his very hardest, and was really pumping his arms. He wouldn’t even look up to see us because he was determined. Skilly jumped in the race with him, and tried to help motivate him. Unfortunately about 50 yards past us (250 yards in total), he was pooped. I guess he did a decent job as a 2 1/2 year old in a race for 5 year olds. The best part was how excited he was to tell Jake all about his “running race”. So when he finally got to see Jake later that night, he even showed off his running skills.
