The Zdenek Family: Easter-eve at the Zoo

On Easter-eve, April 11th, our good friends Craig and Elesha (and their two sons, Jack and Crew) invited us to join them at the Woodland Park Zoo for their annual Bunny bounce Easter Egg hunt.

We had never done it before, but had heard that it would be fun! We got up early on Saturday morning and got the girls all bundled up and headed to the zoo. They were holding the Easter Egg hunts every half hour until 2, but it was a first come first serve basis.

They had a hunt for little kids under 3 in one field and another for kids 3-8 in another field. We put Payton with the older group For the safety of the animals, the eggs were empty and you would collect the candy as you left the zoo at the end of the day. The field was a large grassy area that they took large branches and scattered them randomly so the kids could "hunt" for the eggs. Mainly there were a lot of piles of eggs for the kids to grab and put in their baskets.

Throughout the day the zoo would give some selected animals their own Easter baskets. They would have designated times on when they would receive a basket. Here is one that we got to see. The Sloth Bear. The kids were so excited to watch the bear look for his basket.
