WI festivities:)

another weekend spent in one of our favorite WI cities, La Crosse. I think a big reason why we chose to have our wedding ceremony there was because of how natural it felt to be there. Not sure why and not sure how...but it's another decision about this wedding that simply felt right and we've never turned back:)
the whole weekend was SO fun. We met my youngest sister, Mal, down there. Her, her husband Chris and their boys Luke and Jax were staying with Chris's family.

turns out that we planned this trip without realizing it was Oktober Fest. And we found that Oktober fest is a bigger deal than we could ever have imagined. Drunks at 10a.m., us calling people 'kids' who are in fact only 3 years younger than us...those same kids reiterating the fact that we are just not 'college' people. At one point we were following a group of young guys down the street and we actually had to cross to the other side of the street (PS. Jacob wouldn't let me Jay Walk so we had to endure for an additional 1/2 block - yes...when you stop Jay Walking...you're old;) because we couldn't take the smell of stale alcohol and cigarette smoke!! Realllly?! That used to be our typical weekend stench!!!!
mal and Chris after our BWW's meal. Chris was nice enough to swipe a buffalo crown for Mal. SO sweet:)
some of the flooding....
overall...a wonderful weekend. We were glad to be home but being in La Crosse is always a great feeling and always brings up lots of talk of our upcoming wedding.

346 DAYS PEOPLLLLLEEEE!!!!!:)
