Turkey Trot 2014

Another Turkey Trot at Manito park in the books.  A lot more people this year because the weather was unusually warm.  It had been cold so the pond was a bit frozen.  



 The ducks could walk on the pond.  The edges were not frozen so ducks only.


 Ken joined us this year.  Wonderfully nice person!  Ken, Cheryl, Jackie!
 We were trying to figure out how many years we have done the Turkey Trot but couldn't come up with a number.  A long time Thanksgiving tradition will have to do!
 Lots of turkeys!
 The coloring on this dog was very different.  It is really cool or really ugly?  I lean toward cool.
 The feather girls. You can hardly see the feathers because the hill behind is the same color.
We wondered why the green mustaches.  It isn't St. Patrick's Day.  As I loaded the pictures I saw their shirts and numbers.  It was a virtual race they were doing.
 Cranberries, Pumpkin Pie and a couple of turkeys.
 Here we go!
 A turkey dog!


 Beautiful homes and scenery as usual.
 The home stretch.
 After the Turkey Trot there was some sort of raffle.  We didn't stay for that because coffee was on the agenda.  Another tradition but...I didn't get a coffee picture.  WHAT!  These things happen.  I enjoyed my time with Cheryl and meeting Ken.  It was a great way to start a perfect Thanksgiving Day.  
Remember when I said that only ducks should be on the pond?  I didn't hang around to see the ice crack and these kids getting wet.  The pond isn't deep but the water is cold.
 Goodbye for this year!  Let the tradition continue for next year.
