Crowders Mountain Trip

Today, Harry and I awoke out of our turkey coma and decided to take a hiking trip to Crowders Mountain State Park. We hiked a little more than 5 miles up to the top of Crowders Mountain and back. We had a fabulous time and got some great pictures, even though many of the leaves had already dropped on the mountain due to the drought.

We had a great time on our hike. We even managed to get a Christmas card picture; however, we did not post it... stay tuned to your mailbox for the chosen picture!

Turkey Day

It truly was a "turkey day" for Harry and I this Thanksgiving. We not only hosted Thanksgiving dinner again this year but ran in the 2nd annual Huntersville Turkey Trot. Our day began at 7:30 when Harry and left for the Turkey Trot. The event hosted a half marathon, 10K, and a 5K. As you can imagine, Harry and I ran the 5K. We did pretty well, Harry ran the 5K in 28:12. I finished the 5K in 28:23. We felt really good during the run, and felt even better when we returned home and could eat guilt free for the rest of the day.



After our early morning run Harry and I began to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. Mom and Dad came in for the event on Tuesday so they were also here to help dinner preparations. Martha, Ed, Madison, and Luke also were here Thanksgiving morning, as part of a pit stop on their way to visit Ed's parents in Knoxville. Harry's Mom, Dad, and sister Laura came up in the evening for our 6:00 dinner. We had a great time, but didn't manage to get any pictures (a first for us). We hope your Thanksgiving was as fun and filling as ours!
