Thies Family


Had the annual family picture taken after spending a week together at Lobster Lake, which is near Alexandria. It was a great week, weather cooperated, lots of golf, tubing, dominoes, lunches at Big Oles and our annual lunch at Bug a Boo Bay (which is where the picture was taken). Oh did I mention FISHING, FISHING, FISHING. Caught enough to have a fish fry ...for Mark, Al and myself. Sunnys, walleye, and crappies. The kids caught 5 turtles and managed to keep them alive until today and then they held the great race to the water. Of course, the biggest turtle won.
I would imagine they are all happy to get back to the slough where they were found....though Josh made a great habitat in the sand.
After Buzz and family left for the fire works in Eagan, we had a bonfire, smores, and watched fireworks around the lake. It was great seeing Tait, Hillary, and her friend Tammy along with Linda and Buzz. Buzz brought his pizza oven...YUM.... While it was sad to see them leave it was fun to show Tammi and Hillary our Anderson family chicken dance farewell tradition.
