Turkey Trot

 I was so excited that my family was willing to do the Turkey Trot.  This was my chance to bring them into my "running world."  L insisted from the start that we needed to train for our fun.  I was so proud of her!  In fact, I was proud of everyone!
 P's cousin even joined in the fun as he was spending the week with us.
 Pinning on bibs
 The girls, grandma and grandpa, P and his cousin all did the one mile "Puffin for Stuffin"
 The big boys finished so quickly that D and I didn't make it to the finish line in time to capture the competition.  It's still undecided as to the official winner.  D went to go meet them after they finished.
 L came in next with her grandpa.
 This girl may just have a future in running!!  I'm so proud of her!

 Next came E with her grandma!
 E did awesome and I'm so proud of her!!

 D and I were up next for the 5K!  This was my first opportunity to do a run with D and we were both super excited.
 Greeting the crowd as we take off...
 D finished so strong!!!  I pushed him and he met the challenge!
I'm so proud of this boy!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Every year we go to the same Pumpkin Patch!!!  It's a drive, but so worth it.  We have great memories from the previous years and love to add new ones.  I'm not sure how long we can keep this tradition going as the kids get older, but we'll go as long as they want!!!
 There are cuts-outs and wooden vehicles to climb on.
 I have taken a picture of D in front of this measurement evey year for the past 8 years!




 There are just rows and rows of pumpkins. The kids love to just run up and down the rows.
