Marilyn & Arne's 45th!

Here are a few pictures from my mom and dad's 45th wedding anniversay. We had a party on Whitefish Lake over the 4th of July weekend.

Lewis & Clark Caverns

I have lived in Montana on and off for 12 years and have never visited Lewis & Clark Caverns. My best friend Kareniesa and her 3 kids (Jade 12, Kaleb 10 and Paige 7) and my cousin Andrew went along with my kids (Matthew 11 and Stephanie 8) and I. It was another very hot day...another walk...almost a mile on a 7% grade to get to the caverns. But the walk was worth it, nice cool 40 degrees inside with bats and various birds. If you are claustrophobic...this is not the place to be. There are a few areas that are pretty tight. Here is a link for somemore information: http://fwp.mt.gov/lands/site_281895.aspx

Hagen Family Pictures

We had a family reunion of sorts while we were in ND. Our family hadn't been together all at one time since dad died, January 31, 1999. My birthday was July 22 and it was great having everyone home to help me celebrate. Remember, Marilyn is the oldest!

ND Clouds and Sunset

The enclosed pictures were taken Saturday evening, 19 July. What a beautiful time to be in rural ND!

The picture of Opdahl basement church was taken Sunday evening on our way back from the Crosby Threshing Show.
