April+24+Easter+Sunday

Today we celebrated Easter Sunday at Our Mother of Mercy in Pass Christian, MS. It was quite a fun day. Enjoy the photos - more reflection will follow.

Ms. Ruskey Easter Reflection The entire day was beautiful! We joined the Our Mother of Mercy parish for mass. They are so inviting and it was so nice to be greeted by every single person. Their choir is fabulous! We played football on the beach afterwards and then had dinner at Outback Steakhouse. The very best part of the day though was when things seemingly started to wind down. We invited the students outside for an egg hunt....

They happily assembled themselves with our direction to the middle of the soccer field. Eggs were strategically placed on the outside of the field. We gave them the boundaries and rules which included finding the golden egg (which supposedly had $20). On the count of three we told them they could run. But on OUR count of two, we ambushed them with water balloons from all angles. They never saw it coming! The best part was that even after being pelted with the balloons they continued to scramble to find the $20 egg (that's for you Mr. Haley). Unfortunately, the $20 egg didn't exist... To their credit, they completely got Ms. Corcoran and I back. This involved a water cooler and many pitchers on the basketball court. We called a truce around 7 pm that night and we confiscated all water pistols on the premises. They willingly complied with our requests and it was a great memory to share with everyone....!
