Thanksgiving morning started out bright and early with clear skies after two days of gloomy rain. We had big plans for the Sooy kids - their first turkey trot, a one mile fun run. After a good breakfast, we went to a nearby high school to sign up for the run.
Even though the weather had cleared, it was super cold! After we registered, we hung out in the car for a bit to keep warm...
At 9:15, we lined up at the start and waited for the official to start the race. Sean made the rookie mistake of going out too fast (Mommy still does this from time-to-time, too!) so about halfway in, Daddy helped Sean along with piggyback rides and walking breaks. Clare got kind of freaked out by the start, so Mommy carried her by piggyback for a lot of the race :-) When we reached the last part of the race on the high school's track, Clare got really excited and took off like a shot!
We took a break to look at this turkey sign:
And then continued to the finish!
There were turkey finger puppets for prizes!

Once we got home we got snuggly warm flipping between the New York and Philly parades before getting ready for a big day with our families! Happy Thanksgiving!!
