Bunny! What Bunny?

Daniel holding our new little bunny.
We decided to take the kids to the free movie theater in American Fork to see Despicable Me 2. It came out a few months ago and they kids have been dying to see it. I drove the kids down after school on November 22nd. We picked Kenny up around 3:30 and headed out to look at some places we may want to live. We stopped at Walmart (it seems we always have to stop at Walmart) and then headed into American Fork to get some pizza and see the movie. We had a half an hour or so to kill and we just happened to pass a pet store. We decided it was a great distraction for the kids. Animal Ark was a great pet store. They had fish and puppies and rodents and the cutest little bunny ever. We held the bunny and took turns playing with it and then had to leave it at the pet store. The kids were so sad, but we had a movie to go to.

This is Adam "Ahhh! What a cute little bunny" face.
We stopped and got some pizza and then headed to the movie. Sadly, we spent too much time eating out pizza and by the time we got to the movie it was sold out. We promised the kids we would come back and then we headed home.

Gracie love the new bunny.
The entire night and the next morning we thought about that bunny. The next morning Kenny and I decided to go do some looking into getting a bunny. We found a really cheap bunny cage and decided to get it. Next we headed to the local pet store where we found another bunny just like the one we found in American Fork. Of course we had to by it. We brought her home the the pure excitement of the kids. I loved seeing their face when we walked in the house with her.

It took a few days, but we finally settled on the name of Cinnamon. Cinnamon is a wonderful bunny. She is very playful, likes to get out of her cage and explore, she's great with the kids (though sometimes they do scare her a little) and she's so cute. The kids have really enjoyed her and they're even doing a great job of feeding her, checking the water, taking her outside to play, and changing her cage. Hopefully that will continue.

On a side note, a few days after we got Cinnamon Kenny surprised us at home after work. He said it just happened, the car just went there and he didn't mean for it to happen. He showed up after work with another bunny just like Cinnamon. It was the original bunny from the pet store in American Fork. The 2 bunnies are very similar in their coloring and we have reason to believe that they may be sisters. It's nice to have to both bunnies. They get a long well and they are very fun to watch together. We named our second bunny Velvet because she reminds us of the Velveteen Rabbit. She is much more shy and not nearly as adventurous as Cinnomon, but she's still a great bunny and we've really enjoyed her. I'll have to take some pictures of both the bunnies. I have a cute video of Adam playing with the bunnies, but I can't get it to post. Oh well!.
