We got back last night after spending 4 whirlwind days in the Tri-Cities. It's great having both sides of our family in one place, but it can be crazy! We did the 2 meal thing on Thanksgiving -- I honestly think I gained 10 pounds in one day! Then got up at 5:00am the next morning for some shopping with grandma. Grandma LOVES to shop and appears to be a pro at it given half the stores we went to the sales staff knew her by name! The funniest is Costco. My grandparents do all their grocery shopping there even though it's just the 2 of them! They just can't pass up a deal, even if most of the 10-gallon jar of mayo has to go in the garbage because they can't eat it all by the expiration date!
We also did the "Turkey Trot" while we were down there. This is a 5K run or 1 mile walk in Columbia Park (big park along the Columbia River, kind of like Riverfront Park). My best friend from high school was also in town, so we did it together with our families. This worked out perfectly because it gave us a chance to catch up and gave our kids a chance to get their wiggles out. They even had a big pile of leaves for the kids to run through on the course. Here's some pics:

We were in the tri-cities too! Of course, we didn't do the turkey trot. We should have though! I'm glad you had a nice holiday weekend.
