Trees for Troops 5K

Alan and the older 5 kids ran in the Trees for Troops 5K today.  Even though Alan was hoping to win so that we could have a real Christmas tree this year, he came in second place. First in his age bracket and won a gift certificate for a Christmas wreath. The guy who won was quite a bit ahead of the pack.

Sean was in the top ten finishers. Katie and Liam came in at 31st and 32nd place. Katie was also the first female finisher in her age group and won a free t-shirt. Bryan and Kieran both did a great job and cut some time off their races. Bryan even convinced his Grandmother to participate in the 2 mile walk.

We also came home with free coupons for admission to Stokoe Farms and $55 in gift cards to a local meat store. And, of course, the admission fees will go to benefit the Trees for Troops fund at Stokoe Farms. Maybe next year Abby and Gabe will join the crew in the run.
