To Wisco We Go

Heath and I traveled to Wisconsin February 27 - March 3 in order to celebrate my favorite PREGNANT sister, Jenny.

As co-host to one of my mother's fabulous showers, there was plenty of prep work to be done, so being the wonderful men they are, the boys found something else to do...
    They really weren't interested in helping since they went ice fishing despite the negative temps with even greater negative wind chills.







Essentials to setting up a good morning on the ice proved to work.



 





Unfortunately, the boys did not fillet their catches so we were forced to find a fish fry.  Luckily, that's pretty easy to find in SE Wisconsin and we ended up at the festive Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee.  We enjoyed our delicious fish fry in a German-style hall complete with a polka band and polka dancing!


 







The next day was shower day and we hit the ground running which resulted in my mother's beautifully designed party...
 



Yes that is an edible cake and cake pops
The boys resting after all that hard work!!
 
Mama and Papa-to-be then arrived
and family pics were taken to commemorate the day...

Heath and I got to spend lots of time enjoying family despite freezing cold temps and snow while we were up in Wisconsin
