Maple Lake Easter Party

On Saturday, Bethany and I attended the Maple Lake Easter Party. We had a fantastic time. I was greatly impressed with the thought, and care put into the event for the children of the community. Bethany collected many colored eggs with treats inside during the Easter egg hunt around the lake.
There were craft tables set up for the children to make things to take home. One table had items to make a bunny puppet. Another table was set up for plastic egg chicks, and there was a table for play dough and cookie cutters.

The Easter Bunny made an appearance at the party. He gave every child a treat from his basket. Bethany chose a piece of bubble gum. She was sad that he didn't pat her on the head, like he did some other children.
A beautiful table was set up with refreshments for the party. There were pepperoni rolls, fruit, vegetables, assorted cookies, chips, and this beautiful bunny cake.
This egg decoration is an edible arrangement of chocolate covered marshmallows. The birds nest cookies around it were very tasty. I ate three!


The hall was decorated with all sorts of spring decorations. There was a tree with eggs on it in front of the fire place, which had a spring wreath and rabbits adorning it. The ceiling had these giant cut outs of flowers and animals.

The porch was decorated too. Bethany stopped on the bench to investigate her loot from the hunt. I took her picture between these rabbits.


We played on the playground with the kids for an hour after the party. Bethany met two very nice little girls, who we hope to play with a lot this summer. We had a great time on Saturday!
