Where did the past 7 weeks go? Holy moly, we forgot to blog! We could make a long list of excuses, but who cares...we are back! It is almost Christmas, so why not blog about Thanksgiving? This was a Georgia Thanksgiving for the Thompson clan. We traveled down on Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving. Wednesday night we met Jenna for dinner and had a great time of catching up. Thursday morning we headed out for our 1st Annual Thompson Thanksgiving Trot. We decided on a 5 mile walk that should start around 8 am to leave enough time for cooking afterwards. This is a picture of Asher at about 7:30 am. He is sporting his awesome "race t-shirt" and of course his Alabama hat that hasn't left his head in the past 2 months. He loves that thing. As you can see, he is also clutching onto his other love, Matchbox cars. He can't get enough and doesn't settle for carrying one at a time:)
Here is a quick family shot in the car while we were waiting on our other "racers" to arrive.
While we were waiting, we saw a little friend, also known as a WOLF, a little ways away from our car. Ummmmmm, are we sure we want to walk here?!?!
We decided that we would brave it and took off for our walk. Let's just say that we didn't exactly check the "race route" before the walk so our 5 mile walk missed a turn and became more like 6.5!
I think we definitely earned these muffins after the race!
The rest of our trip was spent hanging out with family and generally having a good time. Asher did decide to get an ear infection at the end of it, but he was a trooper as always. We are looking forward to the Christmas holiday and all of the family gatherings that will come with it!
Much love,
Mark, Allyson, Asher, and Asher's still nameless brother
