Memories…

One of the best memories I have from early childhood is the year the Easter Bunny had a candy hunt for us. She AKA Mom had plastic bags of candy with our names on them hidden around the inside of the house. Mom and Dad had to hunt too.

For years after that I hoped even out loud that the Easter Bunny would do it again but she only did that kind of hunt once. I certainly had fun looking for and finding the goodies carefully and lovingly hidden and filling up my basket. I can still see a bag filled with jelly beans in my mind.

There was another memorable year when the Easter Bunny actually left my sister and I each a live bunny…what I remember is a trail of bunny poop after the bunnies were found and released from under the kitchen sink to wander the house! I imagine they were not allowed to wander too long or far given the trail they left behind. I know they ended up living outside in a cage and I recall that another more suitable home was found for them.

It is comforting to think back on these fond and special memories.

I am grateful that my parents provided these special experiences and times for me to enjoy and with tear filled eyes now savor in my memory.

What special memories do you have of some early childhood spring time experiences?
