Happy Easter Eve!

This being the Saturday before Easter, we were very busy. We were up early and on the road with kids and Aunt "Sashi" in tow. First, we had breakfast with the Easter Bunny in Reedsburg. It was put on by the Jaycee's. It's a very nice idea and definitely appealed to Clayton. But the JC's need some work on this. For starters, your Easter Bunny was ugly as HELL!!! Faded, gross costume. They definitely need to find a new costume! He had zero personality and zero interest at the task in hand. (Give me the damn costume - I'll show them how it should be done!) Then when EB wasnt's standing there watching them make pancakes, he/she was outback having a smoke break (although I am pretty certain this EB was a male.) And EB should be meeting children at the door or walking around talking to them and handing out candy. The JC's did not bother to have any place set up w/a cute background where children/families could have their pictures taken with the EB. And the food was not great (dried out sausages, cold pancakes). But what should you expect for $5? All things aside though, Emma and Clayton were pretty enchanted with this loser of an Easter Bunny. After breakfast, we hurried out to the La Valle Sportsmen's Club for an Easter Egg Hunt. It is put on by the Sportsmen's Club as well as a bunch of other local businesses including our snowmobile club. The Jaycee's could take lessons from these guys! Clayton went with Dakota last year and was absolutely dying to go back this year. They have a great set up. And they divide everyone up into age brackets and put them in different areas of difficulty. We put Clay with the 3-4 yr olds because I feared that he might plow the 0-2 yr olds over (I think the rest of the 0-2 yr olds came up to his chin, maybe) We signed Emma up but she fell asleep and didn't "hunt" with her age group. For the little group of 0-2 yr olds, they pretty much just throw the eggs out on the ground and it becomes a scramble for eggs. The 3-4 yr old do a little bit more "hunting" in a grassy field with some trees. Clayton enjoyed it but I think he preferred the big swingset with a clubhouse on it more. We stuck around for the prize drawing and BOTH Emma and Clayton won a nice prize! Emma won a big, extremely fluffy, stuffed duck. And CLayton won a 2 ft tall chocolate Easter Bunny. He has his Daddy's sweet tooth so he was in heaven! And just to let you know, this Easter Bunny was adorable and friendly! Cute! Cute! Cute! After the hunt, they also served up cute sugar cookies and beverages to everyone. And it was all free. Thank You Sportsmen! Now everyone but me is home napping. They all passed out by Noon! Pictures to come soon......
