This past Saturday we headed to nearby Dean Park for an Easter Egg hunt. When we got there, we were met by the Chicago Park District guy on his way out of the park with a cardboard box full of plastic eggs. He told us that the turn out was too low for an actual hunt and that he'd just let the kids take the eggs they wanted out of the box. How romantic. Lauren grabbed a few for her basket and while we stood there on the sidewalk outside the park we saw the Easter bunny guy drive up. Let's just say we felt like he looked like he did not relish the job and that being and Easter bunny is not a profitable enough job to own a car from the most recent 2 decades. I'm being judgmental and I know it, but we thought it was pretty funny to imagine this guy as more of a movie character that disgruntledly pulls on the bunny head and tromps over to a waiting pack of kids with a disposition akin to the department store Santa in A Christmas Story. Here's a few more pics of Lauren and her daddy with her Eater basket, and of the "egg hunt"!
