I ran a 5K on Thanksgiving morning - I still felt pretty worn out from the marathon, but it was good to get out there and run again. The kids did a quick little race too.
We had our meal in the evening, with one other friend and her two kids. The boys helped make paper weave placemats and turkey juice box covers. Some of them decided to do indians instead of turkeys though. Made the traditional meal with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, rolls, and stuffing. We had razzleberry pie and a variety of mini pies for dessert.
This was pre-Thanksgiving weekend. Nathan and Jared got long underwear for their backpacking trip. I've never seen anyone so excited about long underwear. Pretty silly! Owen really wanted some too.
Owen also wanted to go backpacking, but he wasn't quite old enough. Here he is sitting in Alex's backpack.
Alex took Nathan and Jared backpacking for the first time over Thanksgiving weekend. They did one night overnight. It was pretty cold too. Not far from where they camped, it got below freezing. The dog went too. She was the one that was cold at night, not having a sleeping bag to curl up in.
They did 14 miles roundtrip! Way to go boys! I'm glad it was them and not me... ha ha.
