hoppin' down the bunny trail

So this morning we thought we were going for a routine grocery shopping trip to the local Walmart. Much to our surprise over the intercom came this announcement- "Hop on over to the garden center to visit the Easter Bunny and get a FREE photo taken with him." Way to go Walmart...you made this mom's day! I don't think I've visited the Easter Bunny since my high school boy friend was one at the Charlestown Mall! (Funny I know!) Needless to say, we quickly made our way over to see the big white bunny. As you may remember, Nolan did not seem to like the man in the big white beard just 3 short months ago. This character outing went much better! As soon as he saw the bunny he started waving. (Despite his creepy eyes.) He liked him best when Daddy sat with him. At one point he got a little scared, but all was well again when he was given Skittles from the Easter basket! 

Now had I known we would be visiting the Easter bunny I would have planned Nolan's outfit accordingly, something springy or pastel. So that's why you see him wearing a camo vest- it was snowy and cold here today, not a sign of Spring like you see in the "awesome" photo background! And had we gone to see the Easter Bunny at the mall, I'm sure the rabbit would have been more fashionable as well! Don't you find the primary color vest and bow tie a bit much? But you can't pass up a FREE opportunity like this! They gave us 5 different pictures- all 5x7's. Even with wardrobe issues on both ends, I love the cheesy pictures! Just a fun tradition to help welcome in Spring. Hoppy Easter!
