We spent Thanksgiving 2007 with Gail and Grandpa Billy in Corpus Christi. The day started with an early morning wake up call for the family to go to the annual Turkey Chase run at 6:00am. Ethan participated in the 1K kids run, and I participated in the 4.1 mile fun run. Here is Ethan running towards the finish line - look at him go!

Go Ethan! Almost to that finish line.

Here is a shot of him with his medal. He had a great race.
Here is a shot of mom making her dash towards the finish line.

It was a cold day, but the Huie's were real troopers. Here is a picture of the brave bunch that stood out in the cold wind for the event.

After we returned from the race Grandma Gail was busy with preparations for our Thanksgiving Dinner. Here are the cooks stopping for a photo.
The dinner of fish, curry rice, green beans, asparagus, and vegetarian quiche was excellent! Here is the gang at the dinner table.
After dinner, Ethan pulled out the game of Monopoly and asked how to play. We all played a long game of Monopoly on teams. Ethan had a great time; this is his new favorite board game.


Here are Holly and Ginger all worn out from all of the activity.


We also played several games of croquet while in Corpus. Ethan loves to set up different and challenging courses for us!



Before we left for Corpus, Ethan's elementary school had their annual Thanksgiving turkey lunch. Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Ed joined went with us to Ethan's school to celebrate with him. Here we are eating our lunches!
