This year we did the Dallas Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I was glad since the Ft Worth one (last year) had a lot of hills, and I was going to be pushing a beast of a stroller (even more beastly since ix is still in the car seat in the stroller). Plus, it's much much closer so we wouldn't have to try to get sleeping girls into the car at 5am to get to the start in time.
We actually took the train this year! There's a DART station 30 seconds from our front door, and it goes through downtown so we were able to get to the start really early (a little too early) and without the hassle of parking. Plus, a fun adventure for the kids! Xaris was really excited to ride on the train.
Waiting for the start...not even a large mass of people here yet.
Family picture before Ric left us to go to his race. He did the 8 mile, and ran it. I just walked/jogged the 5k. We finished about the same time :)
It was cold that morning, really nice...Ric's wearing Xaris' hat. He didn't run in it. You can see some turkeys behind us--there were actually Guinness officials there--this race set the world record for most people dressed as turkeys in any one place!

Happy baby on her first train ride!
