Roar

We are Steelers fans.  Don't ever forget that.  

But that doesn't mean we don't also root for our fair Lions.  So we did.  We grabbed Eric's buddy Ross and we headed to Ford Field.  The boys in Honolulu Blue did us proud and won the game.  We finished the night by acting like kids at Dave & Busters before driving home (at 3 in the morning!?!).  It was a good day in Detroit.

Running Buddies

I ran quite a few races in 2013.  But I ran most of them alone.  I put my headphones in and pretty much ignored everyone around me.  I went at my own pace and decided when I'd run or when I'd walk, when I'd push myself, and when I needed to take it easy.  But an opportunity for a little family fitness presented itself and we ran with it (pun intended).  I have volunteered at the kid's tent for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure for the last five years, but I've never participated in the 5K race.  Until this year, when I thought it would be fun to run it with my niece, who is in cross country at school.

Since my grandmother was a breast cancer survivor, I thought it would be nice to run in her honor/memory.  So I got my crafty on and made some personalized gear (for us runners and our spectators) and it was off to the races.

Emma was very chatty during our run, which I actually appreciated, because it made me forget about the distance and how tired I was.  She even made me sprint at the end.  So when's our next race?

Backyard Shenanigans

Why pay to go to a fancy campground when you've got a great wide open in your mom's backyard?

Ava had her own version of Corn Hole.

Campground Christine was open for business for a little family fun.  We played yard games, put together puzzles, and roasted marshmallows over the fire before heading off to our tents to sleep in the wild that is Sturgis.

Smores!
