Thanksgiving Run to Feed the Hungry

Aunt Jamey was the organizer and got us all signed up to participate in Run to Feed the
Hungry this year. There were over 26,000 people in the "race" !!! All of us walked with the strollers except Aunt Vanessa- she ran the 10K! Way to go! It took the strollers 1hour50minutes to finish. We had a good time together and the kids did great considering we woke them all up early . Thanks for getting us all signed up Aunt Jamey! It was a fun way to start our Thanksgiving day!

Our whole group

Ben in his shirt ready for the race. He decided that Uncle Paul would win because he's so fast :) He changed his mind during the race and declared that Aunt Vanessa was the winner!

Jack, Frank & Vanessa

Our family getting ready at the starting line. Thanks for letting us borrow your fancy stroller VandenAkkers- it was great! Heidi was very excited to sit in Lukey's seat and eat snacks.

Baby Kate all bundled up

It was a little early for Heidi

Paul & Kelsey

Ben & Dad

Grandma & Grandpa

If you look really closely you can see Grandpa sprinting up to find the owners of a lost stuffed dog- he found them and saved the day!

Check out all those people!

Heidi got a little antsy in the stroller


And then Baby Kate wanted out too

Ben rode part of the time when his legs got tired

I can't believe we didn't see you guys there... but I guess 20,000 people is a big crowd to get lost in. :-) happy thanksgiving!
