so, what did we get up to?

oh, a bit of this and a bit of that...


a few of us spent quite a lot of time at the Mall of America (and most of that time in a particular restaurant named after the sound an owl makes!)... we got to see an outdoor baseball game (and 2 of our clan were somehow involved - way to go guys!)... we got to go to an authentic bowling alley, complete with smelly shoes and a live band next door (of course!)...we've all eaten some LOVELY steak and cheese curds... we've also eaten in a non-authentic 50's diner!... we got to have a bonfire, complete with s'mores and hot dog roasting... and more than a few of us got up to some KEG STANDS (pictures to come!!!!)... i learned about a special little place along the mississippi river where politicians and porn stars hang out together (it's all those mirrors around that central jacuzzi!)...  i also got to witness a break-in to someone's car (where the driver was doing the breaking in...i was well impressed!) all in all, an excellent time had by all. and two of us got REALLY good at pool.  

i got to see some great friends whom i dearly love and i got to spend some quality time with them. i know some of you never ever hear from me and we really don't get to hang out all that often, but when we do, it really is wonderful and i know why we are friends! :)
