Hanksgiving Hustle

Two years ago, I had this brilliant idea to start a family Thanksgiving 5k tradition.  We did the Arlington Turkey Trot and pushed the girls in a double stroller.  It was lots of fun, so we signed up the following year.  Sadly, though, last Thanksgiving was about -10 degrees outside and tons of rain (ok, I might be exaggerating a little) so we decided we weren't going to drag the girls out in it.  This year as the deadline approached to sign up again, we went back and forth. So instead of signing up for a REAL 5k, we planned our own! I made us matching shirts (and a matching bandana for Piper!) and we did the first (maybe) annual Hanksgiving Hustle!  We ran from our house to the girls' school and home, where there were medals waiting for the first place finishers in each age category! The girls had so much fun and we loved doing this as a family....we might just do it again next year!
