A Night Out With Mike's High School Friends

Last night we went out with some of Mike's High School friends. He had not seen some of these friends for 15+ years. It was great to meet so many of his friends from Glencoe. It all started with Facebook. If you have not joined Facebook yet, you really should. It has been a great tool for both Mike and I to catch up with old friends from High School and College! I have even reconnected with some friends from Grade School. Fair warning....It is VERY addicting! Any ways, we picked up two of his friends, Robert 'Cletus' Ramos and his wife Jenny, and Jason Mielke and his wife Jaime, in Waconia. We went out to dinner in Waconia at Lola's. It was great Seafood joint. Thanks Cletus for setting that up! After Dinner we headed out to Plato, MN to the King Pin Bar. We were meeting up with a few more of his friends there including Tristin. Her husband's band was playing at the bar. All Mike kept telling me was that he didn't know how they would fit a band in the bar to play and than a whole bunch of people. He told me that it was a small town bar. Well, when we arrived there was a ton of people there already and it was just packed! Mike had recognized a lot of people right away. Some of them he couldn't remember their names, but with the help of Cletus and other friends he started to remember. It was such a good time and Mike had so much fun catching up with old time friends. We didn't get home until 2:40am! Here are some pictures of the night. It was SO much fun!
