Our tradition of a fall Mother Daughter Retreat was missed due to my grandfather's passing this October. Gracie had reminded me quite a few times that we missed our retreat this year. I kept trying to find time on the calendar. Finally, it was to be Spring Break. The only day that our Spring Breaks collided this year was Good Friday and Easter Monday. That meant that Easter Sunday night we drove to Eco-Justice and snuggled up for the night as we listened to our latest audio book love: The Land of Stories.
The next day was spent climbing trees, painting, coloring, hiking, collecting guinea feathers, exploring the educational center, and reading.
These 24 hours together came at just the perfect time. We talked about our Triduum Experience. Leading up to Holy Week she was adamant that Easter is her favorite holiday. "Why?" "It just is. Jesus rises from the dead, you know!?" When we were getting ready for the Easter Vigil she confided, "This is really my favorite. We start with the church dark, out at the fire and we get to spread his light."
