King Turkey Day!

This is another event we wouldn't miss for the world! King Turkey Day! We set aside 3 days every year to enjoy the festivities!

Thursday night was the mixer at Pioneer Village! What a fun time! We started at a party at Hagen Distributing and then headed to the mixer. We didn't stay out too late that night.

Friday night was supper at the taco stand... ...and the cathlon. 3-4 years now the hospital has had a team. It's a lot of fun! 10 of us from Sanford and 9 other teams compete at turkey bowling, turkey toss, egg baseball, egg on the spoon races, and egg toss. Although our team has yet to come in as the top 3, we still have a good time competing. Grandpa Darwin and Grandma Mary watched the girls. They met us at the cathlon so the girls could stay and watch. They really enjoy it. After the cathlon this year, they did a ping pong ball drop. They dropped 1,000 balls from a roof and all were numbered with a prize assigned to them. The girls managed to each get 2 balls. After that, the girls go to the Sieve's so we can work in the beer garden for a few hours. It was probably our 3rd or 4th year doing that. Serving drinks and visiting with friends...what's not to love!

Saturday we woke up early to participate in the 5K Fun Walk. It ended up being cold and rainy. Being the die hards that we are, we still trucked out. The rain stopped for about 30 min. of the walk. It rained off and on until noonish. We stayed up town to watch the runners take off for the 10K and come back in. We went to my mom's to change clothes for the parade after that. We got back up to town to watch the turkey race and walk in the parade. The sun had come out and it turned out to be a decent afternoon. After the parade, we ate supper and the girls went on a few rides.






We headed back to my mom's where my mom met us about an hour later to watch the girls for the evening so we could go back downtown to the beer garden. We had a blast! There was so many people out! Good, good times! I will leave it at that!
