OUR TRIP TO WISCO...

We decided to go to Barry and Malia's second reception in Plain, Wisconsin, that's where Malia is from. It was filled with lots of exciting things to do and see but as you can see in the first picture "Population 792," to give you an idea it was definitely a small town atmosphere. So we are walking two seconds away to the cheese factory when two strangers walk up and say oh you must be with the Ruhland's are you Barry's family? How weird!! That was just to give you an idea of how small this town was. But aside from the size we had an awesome time!
This is us freezing to death bc it was 20 degrees with snow flurries and here is my brother wearing shorts and a t-shirt!


A bonfire helped keep us warm.. this was the night we stayed at Malia's sister's house. They had an amazing home with a tennis court and basically everything bc they lived on a farm and lived off the land!

They had there reception in the town hall.
For these next pictures all I can say is welcome to Straka meats! I thought I was getting a tour of a meat place kinda like if you take the tour at Berns, you get to see how the meat is prepared. Well, I was wrong and this is what we got to see instead. (IF YOU GET GROSSED OUT EASILY I SUGGEST YOU SKIP THIS PART.)

And while we were leaving decided to take a mini photo op and here is how they came out!

Here is our Halloween pics finally but since I didn't remember my camera these were borrowed and i'm still waiting on some of the ones that were more interesting... To tell you about our co-hosted party with Kempton and Jenny we started out the night with good food and games (a murder mystery) and ended it with swimming in the pool (that Kempton colored blood red)and watching a scary movie. We had a blast!! I want to give a shout out to Laura and Brandon who stayed in costume the entire time with their redneck accents, Courtney and Nate bc I love Harry Potter, and it's hard to top Sam's farting machine which added more humor to his already humorous costume!
