This was Brady's 3rd Easter and Brynne's 2nd, and I suddenly realized in the wee hours of the morning on Good Friday (when Miss B awoke us in the night) that neither of them had ever seen the Easter Bunny. What a tragedy! So, when morning arrived, I resolved to pack them up after egg painting and take them to see the "Boo Bunny", as they called him ("Blue Bunny" is a favorite character on a Disney show they both love). Daddy had to work, so I called Gaga F. to plead for assistance, and she was happy to tag along. Thus we headed for Bass Pro shops, where the visit and photo are as they should be--FREE! Luckily we got there right before the Big Man himself arrived, so we only had to wait in a short line for about 10 minutes. Brynne did well, but Brady started to get very hungry ("hangry" is more like it, he is his mother's son!) right at the end of the line before we got to the Bunny (they really shouldn't place a display of cheese curls next to the Easter Bunny--I blame them!), and what ensued, well, I'll let you see for yourself....
 |
| All well and good at this point sitting down. Brynne went first and she was fine... |
 |
| But Brady is wondering what the heck is happening... |
 |
| and he's starting to panic... |
 |
| this was NOT what he had in mind.... |
 |
| and so begins his escape! |
 |
| It was too much for the poor Easter Bunny... |
 |
| who tried to hold on, but couldn't quite overcome the strength of a panicked toddler... |
 |
| and ultimately, ended up... |
 |
| losing the battle. |
 |
| The end result. |
If you page through these photos really fast on the camera, you can actually see it happening as if it's been videotaped or made into a flip-book. It's really quite hilarious! Poor Brady just couldn't bear the idea of sitting on the lap of this curious creature long enough to make it into the "official" photo. He was determined to do whatever he had to in order to escape that Bunny's grip. Luckily, Mommy was there with her DSLR to make sure the event was memorialized on film somehow! And let's be honest, even though Brady didn't make the official pic--is that not the cutest little Easter Bunny pic ever? This Mommy certainly thinks so! My sweet little beauty won't let certain members or her own family even look at her without bauling her head off, but Santa and the Easter Bunny? No sweat!
It was quite an experience, and Daddy was sorely missed!
Tomorrow comes the big Veranda Egg Hunt post with some after-hunt photo shoot pics as well. Brynnie's first poofy dress--don't miss it!
