On the last night of the students' visit, Fr. Bo brought in all the children, got ice cream and candy, and we showed the pictures taken so far of the children that Teacher Peggy and Teacher Gary had taken. On the left is Teacher Peggy looking absolutely stunning on the runway with a flower in her ear that a little girl had handed to her.
Give a guy a camera and he will inevitably take a picture of another guy with a camera.
It was a big room, but we filled it easily with 200 of the loudest kids ever born.
When a Serra student got his picture up on the screen it was pandemonium.
Kem (ice cream) is everyone's favorite, perhaps because it is at least a thousand degrees cooler than the air.
Notice that the girl in this picture and a boy in the picture below won't even stop eating kem to get their picture taken. I think this would happen wherever we go.
It was a crazy night, and I'm sure that all that sugar rush prolonged the time for sleeping by at least an hour.
