We went to the Easter Egg hunt at the Market Street Grocery store today! We were surprised that it took place inside the store, along the aisles, but all they really did was toss out some candy on the floor, and the kids had to go and gather it up. Cheap, easy, and the kids loved it! We went down the “Newborn to age 2″ aisle, where most kids were just sitting there, playing with a few pieces of candy while their parents eagerly videotaped their child’s first “Easter Egg Hunt”. And yes, if you were wondering, we are those parents too.
So after the candy experience, we thought Adelyn would like to sit on the Easter Bunny’s lap and get a picture. She is usually very social and friendly, but lately has become pretty clingy, and aware of things that make her scared or uncomfortable (namely the waterfalls at the Arboretum, being babysat at the gym, or being set down anywhere that isn’t home for fear that I will leave her there). As we waited in line for the Easter Bunny, Addie seemed very excited to sit on his lap, because all the other kids and babies ahead of her were loving it! So here is how it went when it was our turn:
Yup, that is my kid’s high pitched scream, followed by about 30 or so parents’ laughter. It was pretty funny, and on our way out of the store, a couple of people asked if that was our little screamer. I’m pretty sure the entire store could hear it. But seriously, watch it again, and see how the bunny reacts. I would be scared too!
