Once
again some of the family wackies participated in the Race to Feed the Hungry
Fun Run on Thanksgiving Day.
They
paid their money and pinned on their
numbers
for the 10k, 5k and one mile run, walk, or get there however, challenge.
Some
of them wondered what they’d been talked into.
They
all seemed excited to have an excuse to act weird in public.
CindyLooWho
got singled out by a local news station for an interview that ended up on
television later that day.
The
group participated in the costume competition and gave credit to CindyLooWho
for their crocheted turkey hats.
Winners
of the completion won a pie. We got a
LOT of pies. This may be the first
Thanksgiving EVER that we got sick of pie.
Finally
the three thousand entries lined up and took off.
Off
like a herd of turkeys.
DH
and I waited at the finish to cheer them in.
It wasn’t long before we recognized a redhead wearing a turkey hat
coming in from the 5k run.
His
sister was not far behind.
Another
brother. They were easy to spot in the
crowd in those hats with the long yellow turkey legs.
Beavis
went by in a blur, finishing the 10k run.
We
got a kick out of watching all kinds of groups with strollers, wheel chairs, and
even dogs go by.
Here
comes CindyLooWhoo finishing the 10k.
Yay!!
A
couple of sisters trying to outdo each other in the final sprint.
Dad
and Mom and the youngest Sim.
Last but not least the shortest turkey and his dad.
We’ve burned
off a bunch of calories. Bring on the feast!

For turkeys, your family is LOVELY!!
Those turkeys are still perky, even at the finish line. Love the hats.
Hey...you can NEVER have too much pie. They do freeze you know.
Your family is just lovely!

Your gorgeous turkey family, Leenie, is making me-- gobble gobble -- jealous of all that vitality! :)
What a glorious way to spend Turkey day!! The whole family looks fabulous in CindyLoo's hats. I'll bet some other runners were asking where they got them and if they could have one too?!
Carla. You are right about that. CLW said she had other lady runners chase her down to ask for crochet instructions. She said she didn't want to be rude but she guessed they didn't notice she was running a race.
This looks like a great way to enjoy Thanksgiving as a family! What fun! (although I'd be watching with you, not running)
the hats are grand! please send your email address, I got a new computer and it is giving me a very hard time...no likey! LOVE LS
It sure was a very cold day - and then the summer of December came. Loved the post.
Looks lots of fun!
and for charity too!
