As is often the case if we don't start getting ready to leave at least 4 and a half hours before we need to, we were late. We had missed the hay ride. And the egg hunt. And the Big Bunny. Well, we sort of missed him.
And yet, the half-full glass nearly reached the brim by the time our visit was through. Here are some of the highlights:
Chasing bunnies all over the farm.
Getting beautiful fresh flowers for our Easter dinner hosts. (Thanks, Millers!)
Receiving jelly beans from the farm worker who felt sorry for the boys with the empty Easter baskets.
Giving hugs to the severed head of the Easter bunny who was abandoned among the asparagus, green beans, and parsley in the farm market. (We had already met the bottom half of EB near the refreshments table.)
The best part of all, naturally, was how the farmer (the half-dressed EB, himself) let Ben and Will drive the tractor. Well, not actually drive it, but they got to pretend like they were. And this tractor made those lawn mowing tractors at Lowe's look pretty weenie, I might add.
So, all in all, our Easter egg cup truly runneth-ed over.
Thanks, Rosebank Farms! bawk bawk.

Nothing says Happy Easter quite like sweet children gathered 'round the severed head of the Easter Bunny....
We went to an Easter Egg Hunt at our local Y, and we were on time. I almost wish we had been late, too! My poor son had to go with the 5 and up crowd, by himself, and the eggs went so fast he only got one. He was so, so, so sad, and even cried. I got a picture of his very sad face (which I didn't know at the time, b/c he was so far away from me), and every time I see it I cry. Thankfully, though, we went to his Nana's the next day and had a super blowout egg hunt. Needless to say, kinda wish we'd been able to miss the egg hunt, too!
