Our family participated in the first ever "Harvey 5K Run/Walk" on Thanksgiving morning this year. We woke up nice and early and headed out to Woodward park in Manteca for some fresh air, exercise, and a little competition. The kid's race was first, and consisted of running around the basketball court 3 whole times. All the kids did great! Here are some action shots:
