Easter in Utica

"Scary Bunny"

This year we decided to do Easter in Utica, Illinois at Grizzly Jacks Resort where my parents have a townhouse. The kids love going swimming at the indoor water park and we just love getting away for a weekend. The whole family went down on Thursday night and stayed til Sunday afternoon. We were so sad to go! This morning we did Easter brunch at the resort and once again, Payton loved the Easter Bunny as long as he came no where near him:) He kept reassuring himself by saying, "Easter bunny not scary, he's nice" until he came to our table and then the fireworks started; however he loved the basket of toys and treats the Easter Bunny left him that morning!
We also got to see some black bear cubs this weekend and the kids got a picture with Nana & Papa and the bear cub. Payton was so brave, he even held the bear. He kept on calling it a dog:)

That last picture is hilarious, Payton really does not like the Easter bunny.

I'm 33 and I'd be screaming too. Especially after watching tripe like Donnie Darko. Gah!

The first thing I thought when you said Utica in the title was that you actually drove all the way out to NY state. I was hoping you took the time to check out the Baseball Hall of Fame nearby. Would've been a shame to miss it. Alas...

Oh my god, I seriously laughed so hard when I saw that picture of Payton and the Easter bunny-Mia had a similar reaction. :) Sounds like you guys had a great time.

Kiss my Mr. P on the lips for me! He was soooo scared of that bunny sneaking up behind him!
