SUMMARY:Easter Bunny
DESCRIPTION:Visit with the easter bunny\, take a photo\, and get a sweet treat.  The easter bunny will be here on Saturday the 1st  and Sunday the 2nd from 11-1.  This is way better than the pushing\, shoving and 30 seconds of mayhem.  Someone is always upset at the easter egg hunt\, and someone always goes early!  Looking at my kids… I can tell you which one will be the one going early\, and which one is upset!  We have you covered with a small bag of easter candy and a solo photo with the most famous bunny of all.  Darlene and the greenhouse team have the place looking good with lots of traditional easter flowers and some not so traditional easter flowers.  Easter is always a moving holiday\, and it is hard for us!  Dad I know… we will have all the traditional things too! Daffs\, Tulips\, hyacinth\, lilies\, etc.…. man\, never mess with the Dutch guy’s bulbs.
