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!

Equipment at 16 mile brewery.

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.

Gender Roles

On the last day of Sharon's gender role lectures, the boys decided to pull a little switch. Enjoy!

TFA 2012 Annual Conference. Oh the places you'll go.

Photo of the week. (wow).

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.

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.

And now we play the waiting game...

So, just in case this blog is your only source of information about TFA, you should know that we do things. Important things. Like, say, go to conferences. Patrick, the Covingtons, and I are currently at a CCEF conference in Louisville, KY. The events depicted in the following video took place while waiting for a shuttle to get from the airport to the conference where we are now. Also, don't worry...we are all being super productive; I'm posting this during lunch break.

Have you seen my abs 2.0

What Ginger Saw

Ginger's Log: 17 October 2011, 2:11 pm

Was sauntering by Pilot House right before Second Naptime, and saw Krista and Patrick swoop in to help Meredith flip Pilot House before class. Wise Cat say: many paws make light work. Mission accomplished in a record 17 minutes and 33 seconds. Meredith seemed pretty blessed and stuff.

Then I meowed at a lodge guest.

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!

Austin's birthday bash!

We kicked off October with life stories, sweet visitors, and a fun dinner at Ava's in St. Michaels (Happy Birthday Austin!)...

Siblings Rachel and JD!

Happy Birthday Austin!

Yummy dinner. Thank you Mom and Dad!

Story time.

Pop n lock parking lots.

Saturday night rendezvous (9.24.11).  This group can get down... in parking lots and makeshift dance floors.  Thanks to Patrick and Meredith for the dance lessons at the Easton Brasserie!
