Thanksgiving morning run

By Amity -
After my first Thanksgiving run last year I decided I wanted to make a new tradition and start Thanksgiving with a run. Since we were going to be in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving this year I searched for a run and found a 5K right down the street from my dads. When we arrived last night Dad asked if we were going to run in the snow since they were calling for a wintery mix. Since I just started running this past year I wasn't sure how cold is too cold for me to run, so I decided to wait and see.

I woke up this morning and it was about 38 degrees but it was dry outside so we got ready and headed out. As we pulled into the parking lot it started to rain and sleet, it was messy but I finished the race in a pretty decent time for me. Mac wanted to do the 1 mile fun run when I signed up, he began changing his mind this morning but he hung in there and he and I did the 1 mile fun run after my run. It was pretty cold and nasty by that time, I'm proud of him for hanging in there and finishing it!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
