Up early again. This is beginning to sound like a broken record, since we got up early every morning! Today was the mini-Olympics at La Antorcha...there were lots of kids.
Medina brought balloons and we provided the hot air. They were the hardest balloons to inflate. In a typical Murphy’s Law way: the air pumps arrived after we were done! But everyone had a great time.
We returned to Regis and began our retreat. We met initially from 2:00 to almost 6:00. It was great and I think the kids really enjoyed the process.
Saturday evening we went to the Easter Vigil. It began with the blessing of the new fire. It was a bit windy, so most of the candles lit by the new fire didn't stay lit for long. But it was a nice liturgical end to the day.
After liturgy, we were all invited to the Velez’s for dinner. The served shrimp and fish tacos…and they were great. It was good company and good food. We ate in the back yard, which featured an outdoor kitchen, like many of the homes we visited. Better yet…a palm tree, and how could that be bad?
After dinner, the boys were joined by the kids from Regis. Which kind of became a nightly ritual.
