Day Trip!

Roger graciously took all of us on an off-campus trip to visit two breweries and Rehoboth beach this past weekend. We started off at 16 mile brewery, a smaller start-up and then headed to Dogfish Head. We got excellent and informative tours at both, along with plenty of samples. Our tour guide at Dogfish was so friendly and familiar with our program; we invited him to come stay with us in April!

We had to wear Crocs to enter the Dogfish head tour.

We spent 30 seconds at the beach!

We ended with dinner (and drinks) at the Dogfish Head brew pub.

St. Patrick's Day

After Patrick finished his marathon, the crew headed into St. Michael's for the annual St. Patty's tradition of shopping cart races. The whole town comes out and at midnight there are several heats of bar patrons pushing each other down the main street in decorated shopping carts. We would've participated if the entry cost wasn't $80!

Cheering with St. Patrick's day spirit!

Competition gets fierce. 

It seems like the whole town was there, kids included.

A Saturday at Shore Harvest.

This past Saturday, 10 fellows plus 1 Mike and 1 David volunteered to help with the construction (and deconstruction!) at Shore Harvest Church's new facility!  We were so blessed to enjoy some beautiful weather and work side-by-side with faithful friends and families.  Thank you Shore Harvest!

TFA Friend Event featuring Ordinary Times!

Ordinary Times (Jill McFadden (TFA '04), Ben Keyes, and Peter La Grand) visited us at Osprey Point this week.  They graced us with their music, thoughts on aesthetics, and all around presence.  Wednesday evening culminated in a Windrush jam session.

Okay, I'm not sure the meaning of this, but drawn by the sound of a small motor, I found this fan trained on 3 strange pairs of shoes....

The Week

We had a flood on our front yard.

People came and we had a dance party.

We went biking

And took the ferry and got ice cream the last day of the season.

The End.

Tilghman Island

Last weekend consisted of an oyster feed, a stand-up comedy performance and a concert! We headed to Tilghman Island for all three.

Oyster newbies.

For the comedy performance, we headed to a local church to hear Becky, an alum from last year's class perform. Right after, Daniel, another alum, held a concert with his band. Both were excellent, you can find Daniel's music here.

Drop a birthday beat.

Austin's 26th birthday (10.3.11) was celebrated in the midst of many surprises - rainbows and shadows, latin hats and ninja-esque streamer head bands, austina stockings and trail mix easter eggs, bony knees and pyramid prowess. Go team go.

Happy fellows.

Take one...

Take two!
