Back in Florida

We arrived a few days before Thanksgiving to have our family participate in the Turkey Trot.  So many people are eager to run the 5k or enjoy the 1-mile stroll.  Baby strollers, turkey hats, Santa outfits, and groups with matching t-shirts added to the festive mood of the event.  People crowded the streets, waiting for the National Anthem to end and the trot to begin. We enjoyed the bands along the way to keep us entertained. It was my 4 ½ yr old grandson’s first participation in this event.  In the beginning, he was pretty excited about the surroundings.  Unfortunately, he petered out, and Poppy had to carry him home.  Too much excitement for one day.  Thanksgiving day was shared with family, and the food was abundant and delicious.  We are thankful for our many blessings and grateful to be surrounded by those we love.

We rode bikes to the newly renovated Coachman Park to watch our grandson climb, run, and meet new friends during our stay.  Mitchell participated in a 10k run in the park and finished 2^nd place in his age group—way to go, Mitch.  Our grandson is now the proud owner of a winner’s medal. 

We were also able to host our daughter’s baby shower.  This is her first child, and her due date is January 7th.  Our baby is having a baby.  So exciting.  Once again, there is plenty of food to be shared among friends and family.

Stay tuned to next week’s post and find out why our time in Florida was cut short.
