Big Eater Bunny!!!

The local YMCA put on an Easter egg hunt yesterday, and being starving students we made sure to go gather some comestibles to tide us over until the next paycheck comes in. Unfortunately, Anabelle didn't understand the dire situation we're in. She was the first kid to the playground where all the eggs were stashed, but as far as egg-gathering goes, she started off bad. First, she'd just met this giant, fluffy bunny that was giving hugs to little kids. (notice how Gabe tries to get the Easter bunny's attention, but fails because Anabelle monopolizes his attention)

She was in love, even after he kicked her and knocked her over.

Then, she looked at the eggs on the ground first like she didn't know what to make of them. Then it seemed to click, as if she realized "Hmm... big plastic eggs on the ground... I bet there is candy in there!" Then she dove for one. In stead of gathering a whole bucket-full first, she insisted on cracking open the egg, trying to open the candy wrapper, then giving up and shoving the whole thing, wrapper and all, into her mouth. This process occurred over and over again... I think she managed to get a few eggs. While other adults weren't looking, we shamelessly threw a few more eggs in the bucket. However, it all ended when she saw the bunny again, and went to monopolize his time and hugs, until she drove him away. She chased him a while until I intervened...
