Heather, Ron & Patrick came to visit us in Dell Rapids and then we all headed to the Black Hills for some fun! We had a great time celebrating Quarry Days in Dells, then watching the fireworks in Dells as well as over Mt. Rushmore. It was GREAT! We didn't want to come back home from the Hills and always enjoy spending time in Keystone/Rapid City area.
Here is some of our fun:

Tara made a whirlwind trip to Lubbock, Texas then onto Roswell, New Mexico. Minnie Marie Misner Parsons Bixler Lindquist, went home to be with the Lord on March 26, 2003. It was great to see everyone just not under those circumstances. Most of the cousins that were there promised to keep in touch and to plan a future reunion for the family.

May 2002:
Tara drove to Minneapolis to see her classmates: Mary Koen Summers, Cyndi Beer Rothell, and Shelley Henry English! It was great fun. Friday night we sat around, talked and ate lasagna while we unpacked our things. Saturday was spend all day at the Mall of America. Sunday, we rode the train from Stillwater, MN, and ate a wonderful meal. Monday was spent relaxing, getting pedicures and manicures, while walking around downtown Minneapolis. Tuesday was sad, we all had to go home!! Below are some pictures of our trip!
Zach, Tara and Eli recently got home from a trip to Lubbock (7/2000). Tara went to her 15th class reunion and glad to see some familiar faces. We are hoping to get in touch with a lot more people for the 20th. We also plan to put some pictures on the website of everybody that was there, to see e-mail addresses for those who graduated Monterey High School 1985 go to (Class of '85 reunion webpage) http://members.xoom.com/gus26/reunion.html.
