We had such a fun day Saturday at our annual Easter egg hunt. It was a little breezy and cool, but that didn't stop the kids and the Easter Bunny from showing up. Not only did the kids enjoy and have fun with the Easter bunny, but our residents also had fun and enjoyed taking photos. We want to thank all of the families who attended our event. We also want to thank "Pop & Paint Co" for treating the kids to free face painting and balloon animals. They did a fantastic job, and the kids loved it. We wish all a very happy Easter holiday.
