Easter Mass

It was really fun to go to Easter Mass with our friends. The kids have gone to Mass here in France once before, maybe 5-6 years ago. They don't remember much of it anymore. I love the music, the beauty, the pageantry. My friend's daughter is doing catechism in that church (not the main cathedral of Old Nice, but another one not too far away) and we saw some other friends of ours there as well.

There were also two baptisms, so the service was extra long. One family was French and they all wore white or cream. The other family was Italian and, besides the baby in white, the family all wore black or dark colors. My friend was a bit shocked. "I have never seen people wearing dark colors for a baptism!"

Dio came out and said, "The music was AMAZING!"

The rest of our day was relaxed. It was raining and Eric and Inga were still at the tournament. We painted Easter Eggs, watched more Doctor Who, and not much else!

Inga's team did amazing again. They tied their first game 0-0, the only game that Inga didn't play in. Then they won 1-0, 3-0, 1-0, and the final 1-0, with that last goal coming as a header in the very last second. Inga scored one goal and lots of assists. They got home around 9 pm tonight.

And there's no rest for Eric! Ivy has a tournament tomorrow all day!
