It鈥檚 not entirely clear where the idea of the Easter Bunny originated.

Most likely, according to the , it was introduced to America by German immigrants 鈥渨ho brought over their stories of an egg-laying hare鈥� in the 1700s.

Kids would make nests for 鈥淥sterhase鈥� or 鈥淥schter Haws鈥� to lay its colored eggs, which, over time, evolved into candies and chocolate eggs.

Like the one two-year-old Remy was happily munching, following her visit with the bunny to have pictures taken at 91原创鈥檚 Willowbrook shopping centre with her older brother Zay, nine, on Saturday, March 30.

When she was first introduced to the bunny before the photo, a delighted Zemy went in for a big hug, while Zay hung back.

鈥漁ur son, he is getting a little bit old,鈥� their dad said. 鈥淪o this is our last chance to get son-and-daughter Easter pictures together, before he鈥檚 too cool for that.鈥�

It was the last day of a two-week Hoppy Days celebration at Willowbrook running March 15-30, and wrapping up with an Easter 鈥楤onny鈥� hunt to find a bunny stuffy hidden somewhere in Willowbrook鈥檚 common areas for a chance to win a gift card.

Hoppy Days included photos with the Easter Bunny, and bunny yoga sessions with furry friends from (VRRA) hopping about while participants worked on their flexibility.

All three yoga sessions, on Saturday, March 23, charged a $15 admission, with all proceeds going to VRRA.

VRRA is a group of volunteers dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of rabbits in Metro Vancouver that provides a safe haven for bunnies while promoting responsible pet guardianship through its education, advocacy, and adoption initiatives.
