Cali Trip - Oakdale - Rehearsal

After San Francisco picked up my Aunt Kelly and headed over to Oakdale where the wedding was. We learned that Oakdale is the Cowboy Capital when we went to the Cowboy Museum. Drew got to dress up as a cowboy, and have some fun lassoing.

Carrie, Joe, Andrew and I then went to the House of Beef for as taste of the local cuisine. It was delicious.

The nice waitress gave Andrew this Hat and bandanna!

We then went to help my parents set up for the Rehearsal Dinner, which they had already been working on setting up since they got there 2 days earlier. The Rehearsal went great, and the Dinner was at one of the Woodbury's neighbors house, and was very fun. My parents put quite a lot of effort in, especially since it was hard planning across the country, and working with people they hadn't even met yet to get all the details ironed out. It turned out great! David's friend Chris did the cooking, and it was delicious.

Jackie's mom planned a surprise quilt for David and Jackie of their growing up and there new life together and a lot of people contributed squares (Jackie's mom, my mom, the bridesmaid's, friends of Jackie's parents, Friends of my parents, etc.) and it turned out really nice.



At the end of the night David got thrown in the pool... then followed by all the other guys getting throw in, pushed in, or going voluntarily.
