Wedding Celebration

This weekend we went to the wedding of my father’s cousin’s daughter over in Sparta. Kyra was not able to make this trip over because she was going to Great America with her classmates in band. She had done some fundraising earlier in the year and now it was time for them to celebrate their hard work this school year. So it ended up being myself, my parents and the two little bambinos headed over to Sparta. Wisconsin is known for its construction during summer so we had to try and find the most direct route to Grandmas house while still getting to the cookie factory in Ripon before it closed… and we made it- Success!!! The girls were stokes and I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that the adults were pretty pleased as well. We made the trip over with very little issue and was even able to find a park on the way to stretch our little legs and large voices on. We enjoyed supper at our favorite restaurant over that way called the Village Inn which is in Bangor, Wi. When our tummies were full after a delicious Friday fish fry we meandered back to Grandmas house to visit for a bit before bed. In the morning we were greeted by Theresa and Mason (the youngest of her three boys) and we loaded up baby Via, myself and my mother into Dad’s SUV and we were off to pick up my other cousin Kristina--- for some Rummaging--- woot woot! Kaitlynn wanted to stay back with Grandpa and Great Grandma (her total favorite person in the whole world). We were discussing one day that because mommys and daddys love each other they decide to make little boys and girls and that’s where she came from--- mommy and daddy made her. She waited a few moments, made beautiful eye contact, stuck out her right hand and said “No Mommy, Jesus made me.” It was adorable!!! We found a few sales in town and ended up staying out and about for a few hours. We were put on the mission of finding Grandma a table that she could put her plants on to keep the dogs and animals off as she would not be planting a garden this year… no small feat I tell ya--- nearly impossible I fear. But we had to stay possible--- we are Rummagers--- we can find anything!!!

The girls and I were not able to make it to the church portion of the celebration but they had and awesome time at the dinner and reception. I have to say that having two little ones and trying to carry food for both of them and myself, not to mention wrangling them in line so they don’t get lost was quite the feat. Lucky for me my parents were both there too so we all took a little extra plate and it ended up working out great. The weather was hot and so the reception hall was a little warm especially when people would open the doors from outside… which was also a little frustrating as it was the smoking deck. We at the Bronander’s home have been smoke free for a while now but the stress of the night running after these girls made it extra tempting- hahaha. But we made it through the night with no issues. The girls danced the night away with the cousins and my parents. They even got to take a picture with the beautiful bride and her camouflage-themed hubby (it was cute as they are an avid hunting couple). We even made it through me throwing away my aunt barb’s car keys (her only set by the way). But lucky for me because my cousin Kristina helped me dig through all the bags of garbage and can you believe it--- We actually found them!!! (only a little potato on the them).
