First Fun Run

The girls chased a "turkey" this last Saturday in our community's local fun run called the Turkey Chase. The girls were each in a different run according to age and got to chase this funny guy dressed up in a turkey suit.

The kindergarten line up.
It was freezing that day so I had the girls put their t-shirts over their coats. (I know not really official running gear, but hey they stayed warm)
Ashlie is in the purple hood.

And they're off...

Madelyn's beginning of the race

Alia on her third and final lap.

Alia had to push herself for this run. She came in 2nd to last (out of 6 kids) ahead of a girl who walked for a little part of the run. Alia said "I saw that girl walking so I knew I could be 2nd to last if I kept on running." I think at that point she wanted to walk herself but she kept going.

At the end of the run there was a drawing for prizes. Alia won a "little turkey" (aka cornish hen) She loved it.
