Our Little Easter Bunny

Friday night I was babysitting my friend's kids and we were outside playing and all of a sudden a kid yelled "Hey, there is a bunny in your backyard!" We went running to the back and sure enough there it was scared to death and had no idea where to run for safety! It managed to get out of the backyard and into our garage. Our neighbor, Steven, noticed we were chasing something so he came running. The guys eventually caught the rabbit and took it to the backyard. That poor bunny was now our pet!
Taylor blocked off every possible escape route. Steven put the bunny back on the ground and he immediately started running. We had all the neighborhood kids under the age of 10 in our backyard chasing that poor animal around our yard. I am really surprised that it did not die of a heart attack!! We brought it some food and water. The kids were so excited to have a new little friend. When we woke up Saturday morning the bunny was gone. We have no idea what happened to it, there is no way it escaped. We looked everywhere but it disappeared. The kids were so sad and disappointed. Later I asked Taylor what he thought happened to the bunny and his explanation was that an owl or cat must have come in and got it!! We chose not to tell the kids daddy's theory!!

You should have told the kids the bunny had been resurrected and had gone back to heaven. Good object lesson really. :)
