March Madness: The tradition continues sort of...

Each year the March madness craze sweeps our country and leads to all kinds of crazy, mad stuff-the least of which is not our St Patty's Day Race tradition . Well, I am here to share the latest edition of the absurdity; So buckle up, if the past few weeks is any indication, it may be a bumpy ride!

Kirby's Angels Two or too

Whether we were Kirby's Angels Too or Kirby's Angels Two it matters not.  What's important is that we really tore it up at the 2018 Frostbite Marathon Relay because we've got a reputation to uphold people!

Christmas Vacation

Sometimes.

**interesting in this context means occasionally overwhelming, somewhat stressful, totally exhausting, but still SUPER AWESOME.

Ready Eddie

Us sisters are not necessarily known for our organizational or planning skills (unless having a reputation for lacking these things counts). Nor are we recognized for our directional prowess (because we continually get lost-- even when going to familiar places), but despite all of this, we sure pulled off an epic and amazing adventure this past weekend.

Stay the course

When the sisters get together (which we've already established is not nearly often enough) we tend to have a few constants: beer, running, fun and (almost always) children are involved.  We stay the course in regards to these consistencies as they have served us well over the years.  I mean, look at all the cool stuff we've done and we're both still alive and nobody has been arrested (yet)!  Anyhow, this past weekend was the Annual Smith Siblings Camping Weekend and we managed to fit in all of our favorite things in just three short days!  Here's what happened...
