Thanksgiving 5K Race for Liz Seymour and Family

Wow… a new tradition may have been born for our family over Thanksgiving.

Liz's sister, Stacie Finnegan, decided one day that she wanted to run in a 5K race early on Thanksgiving morning - she lives in Boston but would be returning to our area for Thanksgiving. She contacted her cousin, Erin Fitzgerald Stroble, who thought it was a good idea and she invited her husband, Albert; brother, Ryan; and father, Mike. (Mom, Nancy, was having really sore knees after years of tennis and decided it was best NOT to join us.)

Stacie then invited Mom, Pam; and sister, Liz. Eventually dad, Charlie, was invited too (or did he just invite himself!?)

So… Downingtown West High School organized this event as a fundraiser for its Cross Country team… and organized is the right word for it: it was VERY WELL organized.

The video below is short, but you'll see all of us (well Dad, Charlie, is behind the camera, as usual), plus some people having fun in turkey hats and the whole throng beginning the race.

Cousin Albert won the race (from within our family) and Uncle Mike even won a pie for finishing third in his age group! (No jokes about how old he is!)

What a fun way to start the day.

And believe it or not, Mom's turkeys were finished AHEAD of schedule for our great feast at 4:30, where we even got Gravie out for dinner in her wheelchair.

Fun time!
