Memorial Day in Dorrance, Mick, Brooklyn and Anna |
Anna rode her decorated bike in the parade. She (and others) also wore face tattoos for the occasion. |
Jo, Sam and Kelly. Sam was decked out in his St Louis Cardinal red for the day. |
Debbie (nice pink shoes), Brooklyn and Susan. Brooklyn had the best seat in the parade. |
The Thielen crew - Sam, Hallie, Anna, Garrett and Brooklyn |

The next photos were taken on June 7 in the harvest field. This is the earliest harvest many can ever remember. Brooklyn found a grassy spot near the wheat field. |
Hallie Jo |
Lori and daughter Brooklyn had a good time. |
The line up - Brad, Joey and Mick. Would you trust any of them to harvest your wheat? I didn't think so. |
Susan served Kelly's homemade strawberry pie out of the back seat of the Expedition. Principal Smith (also the grain cart driver) was first in line. |
You can't eat strawberry pie without whipped cream. Even in the wheat field, the meals are good enough to be on the food channel. |
Matt and his daughters Hallie and Brooklyn ate their strawberry pie on a picnic blanket. |
Do it Hallie! Dump that cup of water on your dad. |
Joey, the truck driver |
Joey and Rita at the elevator. |
Kelly contemplating if she can eat the whole pizza or just half. |
Matt and Brooklyn having a father daughter moment about the finer points of eating a harvest meal. |
I am not sure what this conversation was about, but Garrett, Anna and Hallie seemed to be cooking up some trouble. |
