Thanksgiving Turkey Trot

Oh my goodness!  Thanksgiving Day was so gorgeous.  The day started out a little chilly, but with all that sunshine, it warmed up just fine!  This year, with just 5 of us, we decided to start some new traditions.  One of those is going to be the Toquerville Turkey Trot - a 1.7 or 3.7 mile trail race.  Jess and Rachel ran the long loop, while we walked the short loop with Mary.  This year was our first, and we had a blast!  And the scenery was worth getting up early for!

Rachel & Jessica trying to wake up!

Getting warmed up - sort of!

Mom and Mary are ready!  Well, mom is.

Dad's ready too.  Why the pout Jess?  Don't know what's going on with Rachel...?

Cool bridge with funny people on it.

Close up on the funny people!

We stopped to pet a horse!!

Jess and Rachel are long gone, while we pull or push Mary along.

We finished!  Yay!  And we picked up trash too!!

What a great way to start Thanksgiving Day!  Plus, it eased some of the guilt over the upcoming pie!!
