A new Rumley tradition: 5K Turkey Trot. Some walked, some ran & walked, some actually ran the whole way.
Dad made a route for the distance (5K) and made a map for everyone. I stayed behind with Ava. We took pictures as they came in and we were the timers. The times are below each picture. Dan was the fastest, but he took a wrong turn, so we aren't supposed to use his time. Dan also ran back to meet up with the next runner. So, he actually ran more than anyone.
Betsey came with a "pilgrim" outfit. I tried to get a good picture, but you will have to use your imagination with this one.

It was fun watching them run/walk. I guess this is our new yearly tradition. We missed you, Tobin Erin & Bristol. Maybe next year you can run with us.
