Bringing Home Bunny

VIDEO HAS MUSIC!!! TURN VOLUME DOWN IF YOU ARE GOING TO GET CAUGHT WATCHING THIS AT WORK!! THIS IS VERY VERY FUNNY!!

This is our new bunny. We got her the week before Easter from a breeder, Bradbury Bunny Barn in Perry Utah. She is about 7 weeks old in this video. Her name is Athena. Athena was/is the Greek goddess of wisdom and strategy. Our bunny is authentic to her namesake! So we are continuing with our naming of bunnies after antiquity! She is very smart and we have seen her a few times try and escape!
It is pretty much official that we will probably have bunnies for a long time. We are hoping that the two we have live a little longer than Caesar. We still really miss him!

Easter

Our first Easter with Gavin was spent much like any other Easter for us. Saturday we went down to some of the Christensen family property north of Elberta, Utah to ride 4 wheelers. The weather was not quite what it normally is on Easter due to it's early date so we did not actually ride at all. Gavin was also a little sick with an ear infection so we stayed in grandpa's camper most of the time just spending time with family. It was still a very fun time. Sunday, as you will see, was Gavin's first Easter egg hunt. He got one with the help of his mom!

Fun fact for the day: We all experienced the colder than normal weather this Easter due to the early date. Which begs the question, how do they figure out when Easter is to be? Well, the combination of events is so complex, that the combination will never repeat itself for 5000+ years. Easter falls on the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the vernal equinox. This year the vernal equinox (first day of spring) was on the 20 th march, the full moon was the very next day, and Sunday was only two days later. So Easter was on the 23rd of March 2008!
