Easter Eggstravaganza

Yesterday between conference sessions I took the kids to the civic center for some Easter fun! We had a blast petting the animals in the petting zoo- bunnies, goats, chickens, a cow, a llama. Then we played some games- treasure hunt, cake walk, ring toss, etc. They also had a bounce house, Little Bo Beep with her sheep (guess she found them), a magician, sack races, and best of all an egg hunt (8000 eggs!). But you couldn't really call it a hunt, as the eggs were just covering the lawn, no need to search at all! The kids enjoyed opening their eggs and discovering their prizes and trinkets inside. Seth and Porter were fast to explain that the Easter Bunny wasn't the real one, but just one dressed up! Jarom loved it and even gave him (or is it a she?) a big hug.
On the way home it was a neat teaching moment of the real meaning of Easter and the part Christ plays in our lives. I love that conference is at Easter time and how close I feel to Him at this time of year!
