The Girls go to a Brewer's Game!

In order to cram even more into my last week or so living in Wisconsin, we decided to organize a Brewer's Game adventure down to Milwaukee with the girls!  We chose to go to a night game on Tuesday so we could get cheap tickets.  I think with all of the fees, the tickets cost a total of $2.00!  Hahah, then once we got there, we moved down and got even better seats for free!

So, Tuesday morning I made brownies and then quickly drove to BC to pick up Lyssa again and we took off for Milwaukee to meet at Liz's apartment in Waukesha.  It was a nice little adventure getting down there in the Hyundai. We had made a wrong turn and the GPS instructed me to pull a U-turn.  So I did, in a super busy intersection, ahah.  A massive tractor just honked and laughed, it was absolutely classic!

We arrived at Liz's and got things settled and packed into the cooler for a complete BBQ.  We had the grill master (Liz) so we decided to go all out.  I had boiled the brat's in some old skunky beer that morning.  They were homemade from Curty's stash so I grabbed a pack and cooked them up!  I also brought some Shawano Bottled Sun-Drop for that excellent bottled soda taste!

Lindsi and Becca were driving down from Madison to meet us so we could all pile in the van and head to the parking lot to tailgate. It was a repeat of last year, but we didn't have Lars, and it was absolutely freezing!!  Lindsi was in shorts, eek!  But she was able to cover up and stay warm with the American flag!  The BBQ was great fun despite the cold; probably because I absolutely love tailgating!

We finally made our way to the gates to go in and find our nose-bleed seats.  We decided to ditch the nosebleeds and find something a little closer, which worked like a charm.  We watched the game and laughed with the couple that was sitting in front of us.  Lyssa brought some Big League Chew to get the party started, so we all had nice juicy wads of bubble gum in our mouths.

Roomie Reunion... Lyssa is the tallest, sad fact.

Haha, check Lizzo out in the background.

It was a great game and we were trailing for most of the game.  The sausage race is always a favorite, with Lyssa cheering her brains out for Polish, as usual.

Go Polish!

We were cheering nice and loud and Lyssa and I were doing all we could to get on TV!  We had the American flag waving like mad during any short time span were we could stand up and not annoy the people behind us.  To our astonishment, it worked!! We got a text from Matt and from Gregg saying that we made it on TV as they were scanning the Brewer's crowd!  AMAZING!  Haha, all that jumping around paid off!

We made it onto TV! HECK YES!

Luckily the Brewer's pulled through and won at the end with a clutch play.  It was an awesome game!  We filed slowly out of the stadium and made out way back to Liz's apartment to finish the night with some girl talk.  Becca and Lindsi headed back to Madison because they had to work the next day, but Lyssa and I had the honor of sleeping in Lizzo's KING BED!  Haha, we had three little girls in the bed, it was too classic.  Oddly, we all had enough room.  Liz had to get up early for work the next morning, and Lyssa and I took off for Seymour early. 

Post-potty TP, trying to get a reaction from the crowd.

It was quite the adventure, and I am sure I can fly back to Milwaukee for another one really soon!  September?  Ohhh yeah.
