Easter
in Sunset Cove
Easter is a time of
the year to celebrate spring, fertility
and all things new. Spring lambs and baby
birds and of course spring flowers.
The Easter Bunny
used to try and bypass Sunset Cove because
everybody used to be able to see him! The
Easter Bunny is amazingly fast and very
cunning and is famous for the fact that
he is able to hide from almost every child
in the world.
But
when the Easter Bunny visits Sunset Cove
there's no hiding from anyone! It is very
strange. Instead the Easter Bunny parades
down the main street of Sunset Cove and
gives out marshmallow bunnies, creme eggs
and hollow chocolate eggs to everyone.
Sunset
Cover's can't get enough of Easter. They
have a week long holiday celebrating and
I've heard that Sunset Cove alone eats almost
a 1/4 of the worlds easter eggs.
This may in part be due to the Easter Egg
Eating Competition. Held every year without
fail up to 100 contestants line up to see
how many Easter Eggs they can eat before
they're sick. Truckloads of eggs are brought
in and the contestants have up to 3 hours
to divulge as many as they can. Once they're
sick, they're out of the running.
The latest record
is actually held by Don the Janitor at Atlantis
High. Everyone knows that he loves potato
chips and marshmallows but boy can he eat
Easter Eggs. His record is 258 Easter Eggs!
Another tradition
is the Chocolate Fight. Litres of chocolate
is brought in and put in a huge pool down
by the beach and there is a huge chocolate
fight among everyone from Sunset Cove. It
is such a laugh but I don't like to take
part because my fur gets horribly sticky
and it takes days to lick off.
Hot Cross Buns
are always a favourite at Easter Time and
I love them!
What I like to do over Easter is relax and
take time out to slow down and unwind. It's
a great time to take a break and spend time
with family.
What
do Sunset Cover's like about Easter?
GILES:
"I love Easter - eating hot cross buns,
chocolate eggs to eat. Mum always hides
Easter Eggs around the house for me and
I have to try and find them. Grandpa
loves to point me in the wrong direction
and have a laugh".
JET:
"You know
Easter might be one of the few things I
don't really consider a conspiracy. I love
Spring, all the baby animals, the beautiful
flowers. And
it's a great time to relax with the people
you love.
SOPHIE: "Easter
is great! All the little fluffy bunnies
around, they're so cute. And all the other
little fluffy animals"
