Bunnypalooza!

We kicked off our Easter celebrating on Saturday. The local museum, the Fresno Metropolitan Museum held a fundraiser, family outing called "Bunnypalooza". Sad to say, having lived here nearly all my life, I had never been to the Met before, so what better way to enjoy some culture and support the museum (they're having major money issues - but then who isn't) than to spend a day as a family with bunny time fun. We ended up staying the entire time the "Bunnypalooza" ran, which was 11:00-3:00! The kids made bunny crafts: bunny baskets (from milk containers - very creative idea that my teacher friends should steal!) and bunny ears. The also got a plant to plant in the yard at home, their faces painted like a bunny and they participated in the egg hunt at 2:00pm. We even spent quite a bit of time in the actual museum. Boopy being cute in her Easter hat and Cinderella glasses - it was a beautiful BRIGHT sunny day, although it was rather windy making it a bit chilly.

Papa helped Big Boy with his crafts, while I helped Boopy.

Working on their bunny ears.

Looking cute in their bunny ears - Boopy put hers on a bit crooked, she really did have 2 ears. Big Boy stole Papa's glasses since he didn't have his with him. I think he thought he was pretty cool.

After the crafts we ventured inside the museum. Big Boy would have stayed all day in the hand-on displays if we let him. We're hoping to go back this summer when they have a Bob the Builder exhibit.

Big Boys favorites were the next three - a computer game, microscope and Spirograph.

This was a fun wall where you selected the items and put them in the correct section: recyclable or non-recyclable.

The kids were split up by age for the egg hunt, so Papa went with Big Boy and I went with Boopy.

We even ate a fun lunch of hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and Jamba Juice.

All in all a very fun afternoon. Even now, 3 days after, the kids keep asking if we can go to "Bunnypalooza". I would definitely recommend a trip down to the Met, if for nothing else but to support them. The kids loved the first floor hands on displays. The actual art displays upstairs are great too, but our 2 aren't at an age that they really cared much so we only took a quick glance around.
