McCabe Family Irish Weekend!


This past weekend, the McCabe Family was together at last!!! My mom’s side of the family is pretty big, and might I add pretty amazing, so it is sometimes hard for ALL of us to get together around the holidays.  So, this year my brother Danny decided we should all get together and run the Leprechaun Chase on March 10. Although some refused to run, it was a great excuse for all of us to rent some cabins at Mahoney and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Friday night a bunch of the cousins got together and spent the night hanging out in the cabins. It was great to see everyone, catch up, and reminisce about stories of Grandma McCabe and the adventures we used to have when we were little. 


 
Saturday morning we went for a walk with my two older brothers (Jason and Danny) and their significant others (Stacie and Whitney), and hiked up the Mahoney State Park Observation Tower. It was extremely windy out, but the tower had some great views and we got to take some cool pictures.

Then.....3:00pm rolled around and it was almost race time. Everyone was feeling a bit nervous and excited, mainly they just wanted to get the race over with. I had previously signed up to run in this 10k, but due to the pain in my right knee and the doctors orders, I was not allowed to run. So, my wonderful husband represented both of us in the race! At least I was able to get some pictures of all our family runners, and spend quite a bit of time laughing with the help of cousins Tim, Bret, and Justin and my Aunt Katie. 

Go Danny!
Yay - Aunt Sheila!
Get it Alex!
Yeah - Mama Pfister!


Good Job Lindsey!
Ryan - Looking good kid!
Way to go Michael!

Whitney and Jenny - We love you gals!





After the race, we feasted on corned beef and cabbage and various other dishes. It was all so great and the perfect end to our McCabe Family St. Patrick's Day weekend! It was such a fun weekend and we just might have to make it an annual event! 
My sister-in-law Whitney posted this quote on her Facebook wall and I thought it was so great I wanted to share it. This quote sums up my family and my crazy cousins in a nutshell. I love you guys!
