This Easter we took the kids to a farm so they could hunt for eggs, feed some animals and enjoy the open farm land. The farm was eggs-actly the kind of place that I would have loved to bring my own children when they believed in the Easter Bunny
The egg hunting was nice but it as also pretty pricey! The eggs in this basket were not cheaper by the dozen.
Each egg had a little surprise inside of it.
Christian surely liked his little egg prize. Of course they did not open all the eggs up right there and then, they had too many of them. So they kept the eggs in an egg basket, that cost an additional $1.00, since they forgot to bring last years basket with them. Ok, a $1.00 for a basket it cheap. Wish I could say the rest of the farm events were as cheap.
Little baby Emma also enjoyed her eggtravanganza. She held her eggs so tight and so close to herself that I thought thank goodness they are not real eggs, or we would have eggs all over the place.
It would never be a perfect Easter egg hunt without the Easter Bunny.
I think Baby Emma just did not know what to make of this funny looking , person? I was happy that when she took a good look at this creature she did not go all Bugs Bunny on us.
Of course my grand kids were happy to take a picture with the Easter bunny. However, Sophie made it perfectly clear that she knows that this was not the real Easter Bunny, for just like Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny comes to their house while they are sleeping and leaves all the Easter goodies for them.
Now it is understandable that the kids would want a picture with EB, but when my sister insistent that she and her friend take a picture with the bunny you could not help but wonder who’s BUGGZY now.
Yes, we did have a egg-cellent family fun day!
Now this Easter egg hunt gave me time to reflect on all the blessings we have this Easter. I understand that Easter is not about egg hunting or bunnies but about a time to renew our faith, and a time to reflect on the promise that death does not win out that we live this Easter, and every Easter, in Jesus Christ. Amen!!
