Dock launching/christening

The Thielen farms group helped Mick rebuild the dock and move it to Wilson Lake. Anna and Garrett had the first moment on the dock as they sat on the edge and watched the geese swim by.

The dock launching crew included Matt, Kendall, Colleen, Joey, Mick, Susan, Kelly, Sam, Nancy with Garrett and Anna in the front.
Mick herded Anna, Sam, and Garrett on their maiden voyage on the dock walkway. Kelly and Nancy followed.
Happy Anna!
Mick's words were "Hallelujah! It held Matt."
Mick, you are supposed to be on the dock!
Unloading at the lake.
Mick and Kendall directed the dock as it went into the water.

2 hours are up, Mick! Time to buck the dogs!

That was quite an undertaking. Loved seeing the pictures of everyone. I'm sure the dock will provide many days of family fun and memories for all the clan.
