The Enchanted Barn Wedding

Patrick and I got our first official over night getaway since James was born last weekend.  Patrick's buddy from high school was getting married at The Enchanted Barn up near Rice Lake - so we dropped James off at Pearl lake with Mom and Dad and made a short weekend out of it. 

For those of you that haven't heard of the Enchanted Barn - here is their website.
The wedding was beautiful and everything was so perfectly themed. I am so curious to know how they do everything so wonderfully since this barn is in the middle of a ton of corn fields!

The whole event location was a page out of my dream book - maybe some day we could own a farm like this - Patrick could fulfill his dream of owning and running a farm and I could throw fantastic parties in the barn... though now I am thinking we might need TWO barns to make that happen!


This was the view from the back yard. The house on the right I believe has the kitchen, office and honeymoon suite. Then there is a beautiful stone courtyard in between and  the barn has an upper a lower area that they are constantly switching to accomodate the crowd. Ceremony upstairs, then down to the bar and appetizers (the biggest bowl of shrimp I have ever seen and bacon on a stick!) then back up for a sit down dinner, then down for cupcakes and coffee while they reset AGAIN for dancing.
It was truly a site to see.

Their first dance --- I love this photo because you can see Dr. and Mrs. Brusky
with their heads together in the background. So happy :)


Sunday we started out day with pie for breakfast at the Norske Nook!
Patrick has enjoyed this treat before with Andy and Beth in Osseo - but this was my first time. 
It was delicious!

Then we made one more stop in Chippewa Falls at the Leinie's Lodge.
Pie for breakfast - beer for lunch!


We didn't go on the tour - just sampled a few beers and did some shopping.



It was a fun weekend and nice to have some time together.
James was certainly much happier at the cottage with Grammy and Buppa
- thanks again for watching him :)
