Three Easter Egg Hunts in 2 Days

Egg Hunt #1 Emma and Haley hold up their bunny creations- Emma's is FrankenBunny

Yum, jellybean cupcakes and hurray Mom didn't have to make them this time



Egg hunt #2 Inverness Home Owners Egg Hunt




Reece was so happy to get a firetruck egg, a dog shaped egg and an airplane egg



Adeline found Little Foot the bunny before the hunt started





Here's Bunny......... the VT-6 bunny costume is put to good use with Rick inside - I felt this bunny costume was the least threatening of the countless ones I've seen





Adeline as you can see, didn't care that the bunny sounded like her Dad, she was freaked out and screaming to get down!! It's funny the different reactions kids have to large stuffed people dressed like imaginary creatures. Emma never seemed to mind when she was a toddler, and one little girl kept coming up to Rick wanting hugs and kissing his belly. But then the same girl's older sister came up and flicked "Rick's" teeth with her fingers and tried pulling up the pant leg to see his real leg. Hands off sista. Poor Rick though, I wasn't aware that he had very little peripheral vision and couldn't see directly below him. So, when the itty bitty ones were walking up to him, he would just stand there waving to other kids and giving the A- OK sign and these poor little ones are just staring up at him, like what gives bunny? He never saw them.
This was a brand new costume to the squadron this spring and doesn't Murphy's Law suggest that the first 2 yr. old to sit on Rick's leg and hug him, would have melted chocolate all over his hands and face. Hey at least he wasn't peed on, right?

yeah, how did you get such a nice, peaceful looking bunny and we got a freak show? i think maybe the difference is that this is the "easter" bunny and we saw "mr." bunny.

Tell Rick I said good job. I know that Abigail would have had the same reaction as Adeline. Happy Easter.
