Jingle Bell Walk/Run 2015

Jingle Bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock! Our group picture by the tree in Riverpark Square is getting smaller!  Bonnie, Freida, Jackie this year!

My friends started walking across the street before the sign said to walk.  Walking a dangerous path my friends.  This is what the walk sign looks like.
Yes, the must picture by the Bloomsday runners.  It is dangerous to close your eyes while you run Bonnie.  Another dangerous moment and the race hasn't even started!
Fall leaf throw!
It was a great day for a walk through Riverfront Park!
Friends everywhere!
Christmas bags!
The gingerbread girl wanted her picture too.  Now people are starting to ask me to take their picture!
The kids start first!
Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus were helping the kids get stretched out.  It was adorable watching the kids follow Santa's directions!


Nice Reindeer!
More friends.  Freida, Nancy, Peggy and Bonnie
Here go the kids.  So cute!
I don't know this guy's name but he is at the race every year.  He is an elf I guess.
Who doesn't love getting their picture taken with Santa! Mrs. Claus is a bonus.

Selfie!
Mini Santa outfits!


60's Go Go boots!
Off we go!


This guy had Christmas music playing as he walked.  Festive!
Cutest dog award goes to these dogs!

Almost done.  Such a beautiful day.  I would say it was in the high 30's during the walk.

The trail was icy in places.  I was worried about slipping because of my new knee.  I didn't want to break it.  My good friend Freida Cook suggested I walk on this railing over the river instead of on the icy walkway.  I think falling in the river might be worse than slipping on the ice.
Yep, she wanted me to walk along this next to the river.  What was her motivation for this comment?
When I didn't take her up on her suggestion she said I should hop on this dog and ride it.  Really Freida! Right after you take a ride on the dog I will be right behind you! Maybe not on the dog but I will be behind you with my camera.

A new place to me for coffee.  Great place!  I would say the coffee was as good at the coffee at our favorite place to go after the Spring Dash.

Nice ending to another Jingle Bell Walk!  Until next year!

The Jingle Bell Run/Walk 2014

I think this Jingle Bell was my favorite ever!  It seemed more festive.  More celebrating.  This is our traditional tree picture.  We are missing Lesley but she makes in appearance later in the blog.  
 Lumberjacks.  Very unique!
 This beautiful elf was helping us get to our new start line.
 Gotta love Spokane!


 I have never seen the abominable snowman before.
 The walk is now complete!  Otto!
 Goodies!
 Every year there are more unique costumes.
These guys are not unique.  They are at the walk every year.  You can see they are standing by one of  the heaters.  If they wore more clothes that would solve the cold problem.
 No comment!

 Surprise, surprise.  It has been too long since I have seen Marianne! Good to see Colette too!
These costumes had something to do with a Christmas movie.  I was only listening half way so I don't remember what it was! You probably do!
 More people attended this year.  You could really hear all the bells on every ones shoes at the start!

 This Grinch looks pretty Grinchy!

 We saw this little guy on the path.  Looked like a ferret that should be inside.  He was scared.
 As I said you just have to love Spokane!
 We are done! Lesley has appeared and the blog post is complete!


 Skeletons?  Is this from a Christmas movie?  I hope not!
 Off to coffee at the Flower Mill!


Lesley and Freida!

 As we walked back to our cars we were serenaded by carolers.  Peaceful, wonderful sounds!
 Merry Christmas to all.
 Unto us a Child is Born!  What a gift we got the day Jesus Christ was born!  The never ending gift!
