We had a blast the weekend before Easter break! Quite busy, but loads of fun.
The weekend started off with a Talent Show the school put on. Saturday, we all headed out to Lorrach for a full day of soccer games! Burnt and Vitamin D filled from the sun, we all enjoyed a delicious meal in accordance with our theme of “What Would Jesus Eat.” We prepared all kinds of grains, fish, bread, and fruits, and imagined we were eating right on the Sea of Galilee with Jesus 2000 years ago. After dinner and clean up, we all resorted back to childhood and died about 100 eggs for our Easter egg hunt the next day!!
Come Sunday, we had a picnic after church on the school lawn by a creek and then drove to a nearby town called Schliegen to browse through their street fair. Later that day, we finally had our grown-up-like version of an Easter Egg hunt. We split the girls into 4 different teams, with 1 of our 4 seniors the head of each one. Each team then had to find approximately 25 eggs. Each egg had a letter on it. Once they found all their eggs, they then had to play bananagrams with them. (If you’ve never played bananagrams, the girls essentially had to make words out of their all their letters, with each word connecting to another—kind of looks like a crossword puzzle). It was a blast! Shorter-lived than I imagined, but a lot of fun. Sometimes I wish I could be kid again; I loved those Easter egg hunts as a kid!
To finish the day, we prepared a Seder meal. I had never heard of a Seeder meal before, but supposedly a Seeder meal, according to my dorm mom, represents Passover with each food item representing something (for example, the celery symbolizes the bitterness of slavery. You should look up a Seeder meal. Quite fascinating!). I guess a true Seder meal last hours; ours only lasted about 15 minutes—just enough for the girls to get an idea of it). Then we had a nice, big “Jesus” meal afterwards.
Busy weekend, but lots of fun!
