Last night was such a great time 🐰💐

We loved seeing everyone come out to take photos with the Easter Bunny. It was full of smiles, laughter, and fun all around.

And of course Marv the bunny stole the show 🐇 He is a real bunny and everyone absolutely loved getting to see and enjoy him.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the night so special. We truly appreciate the support and hope you had as much fun as we did 💛🌷

🌷 Enjoy Spring Safely 🌷

Spring is here, which means more time outside enjoying the sunshine, fresh air, and blooming flowers but it’s also important to stay safe and healthy while you do it

Ways to Enjoy Spring Safely:
1️⃣ Check pollen forecasts before spending time outdoors to reduce allergy symptoms
2️⃣ Keep windows closed on high pollen days or use an air purifier indoors
3️⃣ Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin from harmful UV rays
4️⃣ Use insect repellent to prevent bites from mosquitoes and ticks
5️⃣ Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water during outdoor activities
6️⃣ Wear supportive shoes and take care on uneven surfaces to prevent slips or falls
7️⃣ Stretch before gardening, walking, or other physical activities to avoid strains
8️⃣ Take breaks in the shade and avoid overexertion on hot days

A little preparation goes a long way toward enjoying all that spring has to offer safely and comfortably!
