They say, every"bunny" has his days...and last Saturday was mine! I had HUGE feet to fill from the prior Mr. Bunny's jovial antics, but I was up to the challenge! We had a very nice turn out, not sure of the final count, maybe 30 children with their parents, grandparents, and older siblings in tow! And the tornado of children descended on the large, furry,(and sweat drenched) Mr. Bunny at first sight. Just before Mr. Bunny turned to greet one child, there was an eager parent/photographer snapping pictures...from ALL angles. He was very confused as to which pose was appropriate for which child...below is Mr. Bunny just before making his entrance. Needless to say, this Mr. Bunny was a far more "crazed" than his senior...if not before, definitely after!
We included a greyhound rescue this year, and it was a huge hit with the children. Of course, I didn't realize that the senior racing dogs chased RABBITS...you can imagine the look of confusion in their eyes, the rabbit larger than they were! Mr. Bunny and the gracious canines became close friends...making Mr. Bunny just a little nervous.
Victorian Village Ambassadors even got into the fun while directing tours and assisting with traffic control.
Mrs. Pera jumped at the photo op, I think she even pushed a little girl snacking on cookies out of the way!
The always stunning Mrs. Ralston was sporting a vintage look and was quite gracious when Mr. Bunny asked for a snapshot.
I can honestly say that the Egg Hunt was one of the most draining events. I think Mr. Bunny sweat about five pounds of Reece's peanut butter eggs out during the course of two hours! I'm sure I wouldn't have changed a thing and look forward to next year!
