Activity: Clambake 2011

sorry everyone, i have been meaning to write about the clambake since it happened but my procrastination kicked in. The clambake was quite the event, what more could we have asked for, beautiful weather, breathtaking scenery, good friends, and well-prepared food as the product of time and hardwork, so i asked before what more could we have asked for? and i feel that the answer is pretty obvious, we couldn't have asked for more, it was a perfectly put together activity.

 Not a lot of people were there when we first go there just Chris and I and a few of the Good fellows who were putting the event together (great job by the way boys!) When we arrived everything was in the process of getting ready. Will sent Chris and I on an interesting little mission to pick seaweed, something I wasn't so eager on, I mean frankly the stuff freaks me out but it turned out the be a fun venture, we picked two trashcans full & by the time we had finished many people had begun to arrive! when everyone had arrived there was a good 30 or so people who had come out to enjoy the sun & wonderful food & of course each others company!

When the process of getting the food cooked began, many gathered around to watch as the wood was taken out of the fire and the sea weed was layed down in its place, crates of food was piled down into the cooker then another layer of sea weed piled on top! definitely a method i had never seen, but once the food was covered all we could do was wait an hour and a half in anticipation of the beautiful meal to come!!

Once the wait was over, everyone grabbed a lobster, a cob of corn, and of course some clams, but of course not until we had blessed the food did we dig in. some of us tore into our food, other didn't quite know how to approach it! But it was amazing food with amazing friends, some had one plate others had many (some ate everyone elses food :p) but we were able to enjoy ourselves and each other. It truly was a wonderful day & if you havent attended one of the activities you should because you will have a great time.

anyways thats all i have for you for now! REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU STAND FOR (:
