Life Lessons Bunny Style

On a lighter note - did folks clue into the Easter Egg fiasco this past Saturday? Ha!

5000 people met at 6am at Balloon Fiesta Park for a massive Easter Egg hunt. Unfortunately, the Easter Bunny’s one-two-three to get a pre-hunt bunny hop started miscued the crowd. The false start led to a mad dash onto the field, both kids and parents scrambling for the goodies. Needless to say, parents lost their kids, and lots of kids got no eggs. To make sure that the younger and slower kids got an egg when it was all said and done, event organizers went up in three hot air balloons and proceeded to drop eggs on their heads. Yes, I said Dropped Eggs On Their Heads. It was raining eggs on these poor people. Yikes!

Amazing, truly amazing, but, also a “life lesson” according to Marty the Mayor. "Some of the kids didn't get eggs, but that's a life lesson," he said to the Journal.

hmmm...what could these life lessons be?

  • If you are not in front, you get no egg?
  • That no one will share with you, so grab all the goodies in sight?
  • You better jump right in with the rest of the frenzy, or you get no egg?

Oh, Marty, you are such a sage.

And isn't it nice that the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus can provide such illuminating life lessons?
