Easter with egg baskets and bunnies
Sunday was crisp and cool, but the weather didn't limit Easter celebrations or activities. The Flying Horses opened on Saturday, just in time to host the Easter bunny on Sunday. The Easter bunny also stopped in to celebrate with the folks at Donaroma's Nursery. There was the annual egg hunt at Vineyard Gardens and family-style fun at the Portuguese American Club.
