Day 3 - On to Michigan

After our excitement in Chicago, we drove to Grand Rapids for my cousin's wedding. It was great to be able to spend time with everyone, but the weekend went quickly. All of my cousins from my mom's side were there (9 of us) - a few that I haven't seen in years! (which is hard to believe) I'm thinking now that we should have gotten a "cousin" picture - oh well, hopefully it isn't "years" again before we're all together.

Friday night was Casey and Jodi's rehearsal dinner. We had a great Italian meal and lots of fun catching up with everyone.

The first picture is my cousin Jodi's new daughter (Mackenzie) . The next picture is just the group at the rehearsal dinner. Then it is Chelsea and my cousin Jon's fiance, Becky. We have lots of wedding pictures, so stay tuned . . .

P.S. Brandon & I decided to make "Would you rather . . . " a weekly game. SO this Sunday's would you rather is - WOULD YOU RATHER never be able to shower/bathe or never be able to wipe (gross, I know).

Chicago/Michigan: Day 2-Late Night

See all the cool things you miss out when you go home early... Leaving Wrigleyville after the game we got to meet a Chicago celebraty, Ronnie "Woo Woo" Wickers. He is the unofficial cubs mascot. I didn't know a lot about him before we met him, but you can check out his website to learn his story. Don't forget to listen to his audio cheers that made him famous.

Chicago/Michigan: Day 2

Due to our awesome timing and Aaron's awesome people skills, we got to do something that I never thought I would get to do. The first full day we were in Chicago, Aaron's law firm was having an outing and they rented a rooftop deck overlooking Waveland Ave. and Wrigley Field (or as Karlee calls it Wrigley Stadium). Aaron found a way to hook us up on Uncle Chappy's dime as dates of a couple of the lawyers and we got to watch the Cubs beat up on Cardinals. It was a really good time (free food and drinks were a plus too). That is what all these pictures are of, minus the picture of Karlee and I eating at a completely mediocare restaurant . By the way, the building we were in was called Brixen Ivy and it is the gray one in the pictures. If you ever get the chance to hit a rooftop, it a really good time. PS. Last time Karlee and I were in Chicago, Aaron's lawfirm was having their Christmas party. I am waiting for the newest roster of activities before we plan another trip to Chicago. We are huge moochers
