Here Comes Peter Cottontail (sort of)

Be sure to vote in out latest blog poll...What is your favorite Easter Candy? We hope to have some nice photos to post after the Easter Egg and Cany Hunt here on Sunday morning at 8:15AM. While we realize that is early, it needs to be. Remember, the Easter Bunny arrives in the cloak of darkness, delivering the goods during the wee hours. Do you want to sit there and guard the field? I didn't think so. And don't think that an unguarded field won't get pilfered early by unscruptulous kids without any early morning parental supervision. It happened about 5 years ago. I won't mention the kids' names, because the ring leader is no longer a long-term camper here, but suffice it to say that around 6:30AM, there was a small horde of pre-teens (girls, but that is not really relevant) swiping all the eggs and candy that had been hidden by EB. Must admit that I was not heartbroken when they sold their site that summer. I am pretty sure that Mrs. Easter Bunny is looking forward to filling a few hundred eggs with candy, and that Mr. Easter Bunny is hoping that the little bunnies sleep soundly on Saturday night, so that he gets a little rest before having to deliver the goods all over the world...or at least to the large field at Strawberry Park. After spending an hour at the allergist, looks like Brock's egg allergy (mild to begin with) has gone away, which apparently happens often in little ones. However, they now want him to come back for 5 hours of monitored sporadic egg eating. Does not sound like much fun, especially for an under 2 year old. Although NCAA hoops are over, this is a great sports weekend, with baseball getting underway (first full weekend of games), as well as the Masters Golf Tourney. Best sports moment I saw all week was old man Gary Player sinking a shot on the 9th tee Wednesday at the annual Par 3 Contest at Augusta. Hope he plays well today and Friday in his final appearance at this event.
