Life is good, life is hard. Embrace it, because nothing lasts forever: Easter Eggggstravaganza at the Magnetic Hill Zoo

I think almost every child from New Brunswick, along with a few from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were at the Magnetic Hill Zoo today for this event.....Okay maybe not all of them, but quite a few. The parking lot was full, and the overflow went across the way to Magic Mountain to park....

It was the first day of the season for the Zoo, and it seems everyone came out for the annual hunt, and to see the Easter Bunny. There was also face painting(for an additional $7 a child).....Each child over the age of 4, got to hunt for eggs. The way it works is, they hide plastic coloured eggs in a big pile of hay. Each child gets to find five eggs and once they're found, they are given a bag of goodies(chips, lollipop, mini chocolate bar)...

So, that was an advance bit of fun for the kids before the big hunt at our hunt tomorrow morning.

They also got to sit on the Easter Bunny's knee..

My daughter asked, "Mommy, why was the Easter Bunny wearing shoes?" Okay how do you explain that? I think she is kind of catching on...She told me a couple of days ago that she kind of thinks the Easter Bunny isn't real.....She is getting to that age I guess.....As for my son, I don't know if he believes any of the stuff we tell him about the Easter Bunny, Santa, etc, either....It almost as if he just goes along with it....But he doesn't ask any questions....Not sure....

I took a few photos of the animals, but some of them weren't out today because it's still a bit chilly out....(and the batteries in my camera went dead.....I wasn't prepared) The last time we went to this Eggggggstravagnaza event, which was a couple of years ago, it was snowing.....which brings me to tonight's forecast for Moncton...
