Here Comes Peter Cottontail

We had breakfast with the Easter Bunny today. It's a free event at South Towne Mall and our second year of participation. If you have never been, you should plan on going next year, too. Here's what to expect:
Wait in line to get the breakfast--which is tiny Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, pancakes with no syrup/jam, and o.j. or chocolate milk.
Speakers begin blaring "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" and the rabbit makes his entrance with mall employees holding large baskets of plastic Easter Eggs.
Breakfast begins to be served and the line progresses towards the bunny and the food.
Meet the bunny and take a picture, if desired.
Get a plastic Easter Egg (with candy inside) for each child.
Get breakfast.
Eat breakfast.
Wish you had maple syrup for the pancake.
Marvel on how soon Easter will be here.
Put wet wipes to good use on sticky fingers and chocoalte milk mustaches.
Pack up the kids to go home and think, "That was fun--for a free event!"
