(Turkey Trottin' Tradition)
  
good mornin' sunshine(s)!
we dragged ourselves out of bed for a nutritious breakfast before we headed out to dallas.
 
our clan consisted of a couple o' bartons, a ltitle, a watts, a windle, a burnside, and a whoppin' five mcArdles!
packin' the spend-the-night stuff up before we walked out the door.
   
hanging around before the race...
we found the way NOT to get to the registration tables. 
  
checking out all the free stuff we got!
dad, steven, paul, kyle, & whit. (j-dub kept losing himself in the crowd!)
 
kyle & simone - putting stuff into the car before we ran; whit - showing off his turkey-trot gloves.
unable to contain her trot-excitement.

telling us, without so many words, what place they came in...!
HAPPY TURKEY-TROTTIN' THANKSGIVING!!
