The fall days of warm sunshine, bright blue skies and amazing foliage make outdoor education days even better than usual.....when all things go according to plan, that is. Wednesday morning began with a frantic call to Luke (aka Diesel God). Luckily Luke makes house (or in this case, school) calls and came to the rescue, outfitting Big Blue with a new battery in time for the Younger Crew's departure to Sunny Pine Farm. Thanks to Cara, Joe, and Luke for finding a solution! Sunny Pine Farm is home to farmer, goat herder and cheese maker (as well as alumni parent) Ed Welch, and a vast assortment of other two and four legged family members. Samples of delicious goat's milk and creamy cheese were tried by all - yum!
Big Blue, ready to roll again this morning, set off with a full load of Middle Crew members to hike and explore the Cutthroat Lake area. Peter Neitlich and Bridget Hall are along on the day to explore the wonders of natural science.
Sending good energy and well wishes to crewmate, Nate Hirsch, the Older Crew sings along to Luc and the Lovingtons playing on the radio (Nate will be performing with the band and Jason Mraz tonight....somewhere in the Midwest....) Emily Post is helping Deirdre and the students craft their ceramic mugs, the challenge this year - to construct 3-D faces on the mugs. Thanks to the Almquists for generously donating the clay and firing the glazed mugs!
A huge thank you and appreciation to our amazing volunteers this week; Sarah Fox, Bridget Hall, Lisa Wasson, Sarah Halpin, Teresa Mitchell, Rebecca Shoup, Paul Gitchos, Peter Neitlich, Jessica Deitz, Brooke Lucy, Joe Reichert, Barbara Tennant, Amy Jones. We couldn't do it without your incredible support.
