Mommy & Daddy almost blew the kid’s first Easter. We headed to the Springs Preserve for their annual Easter celebration only to find it was the day before! I couldn’t stand the thought of Tehya’s first Easter ending with no photo with the Easter Bunny so I had Ryan make a few calls. Luckily Grandma Weber had heard that he was making an appearance at the Bass Pro Shop at Silverton Lodge. Called over there & found out he would be there until 3pm so we had a few hours to spend at the Preserve before heading south of town. Tehya napped on the way & luckily stayed asleep for about 20 minutes of Mr. Bunny’s 45 minute break. When our time came for Tehya’s picture, she was fearless. I brought her up to E.B & told her to say “Hi”. She waved, settled in where I set her next to him, & then she reached over & put her hands on his leg. Very comfortable for a first time encounter with a large white bunny with what I have to admit are kinda scary eyes when you’re up close. The photos were snapped quickly before Tehya had a chance to bail off the bench & Mommy was happy we managed to save Easter! We checked out the aquariums of local & ocean fish while stopping to view some of the stuffed animals (not the cute cuddly type) along the way. It turned out to be an interesting day of beautiful wild flowers & plants complete with Union Easter Bunny & taxidermy. Only in Vegas I suppose. Tehya napped the 45 minutes back home & we presented her with her first Easter basket before she changed out of her Easter dress (had to keep it on for photos of course). She put every plastic egg & toy in her mouth & seemed to enjoy trying to eat the plastic grass the most. We broke open the strawberry scented bubbles & Tehya warmed up to the idea of something disappearing the moment she touched it. Her hair smelled like strawberries from all of the bubbles that popped on her head! We headed to Grandma & Grandpa’s for dinner where she crawled all around the kitchen. She got going so fast at one point that she slipped, did a sideways somersault & banged her head. By then she was about done & we headed back home where she crashed out. All those flowers, dead animals, giant white bunnies & somersaults make for a very exhausting day!
