Easter weekend

My little sister Roni and her son Rafa invited us to join then at the Los Angeles Zoo for "Big Bunny's Spring Fling" on Friday. Not only did we get to check out our favorite animals and the new gorilla exhibit, we got to participate in some fun Easter activities. We made bunny ears which we proudly wore as we hopped around the zoo, we had our faces painted and learned a lot about rabbits. We saw a marionette show, and even planted our own carrot seeds! Friday was also my daughter Ani's birthday! So after our zoo outing, I joined the other grown-ups for a celebration dinner at Chiba's in North Hollywood. If you like Sushi, they have the best Sunset rolls and Spicy Crab rolls I've ever had. On Saturday we went to a reenactment of the Easter Story at Vasquez Rocks in Agua Dulce. This is one of our favorite hiking spots, with its unusual rock formations. It has also been used as a location for several television shows and movies such as "The Flinstones" and the last "Star Trek". It was a wonderful place for the reenactment, and we all enjoyed it. Afterwards, the girls and I had our own little celebration. We dyed our Easter eggs and dusted them with glitter while we snacked on sugar cookies. Afterwards we made our traditional Resurrection cookies. Easter Sunday was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. After church, we joined our friends and family for dinner and a traditional egg hunt. It was special, because it was the first time my grand kids could hunt for eggs! I hope everyone survived there own exhausting weekend too....lol
