[April
7] Walking with parents
Kristi and Arnold Carvajal, Marissa, who's about to turn 1,
captured the spirit of Saturday's Easter Egg Hunt in her bunny
jacket. (That's Marissa and Mom at right.) Every year there
are more children, more activities and more families at the
Stonehouse Park event. Hundreds attended Saturday, and children
enjoyed bounce houses, a train ride, cookie decorating, face
painting and bubble-blowing in addition to hunting for thousands
of candy-stuffed eggs. A new dimension was added with the
participation of the Sheriff's Department and Volunteers in
Partnership with the Sheriff. Fingerprinting was provided,
and children were introduced to a bomb squad robot. The Murieta
Activities Club event was the work of many community organizations
and volunteers, and raffles and a bake sale were held to raise
money for future activities. Dawny Corsaut and Judy Musgrove
coordinated the event. |

"It's just like the Santa
thing," said Amy Holliday about 18-month-old daughter Kate's
less-than-happy photo moment with the Easter Bunny.

Mattie Shaw, 2, reacted to the novel sensation of touching the rabbits in the petting zoo, new this year.

Tessa Faeth, 4, enjoyed her
time with the rabbits. There was also a black lamb for the children
to pet.

The 21/2-year-old Albiano triplets -- Isabella, Samantha and Sophia -- tackled egg hunting as a team.

John Fong helped his 2-year-old daughter, Ryley, gather eggs.

Ever try taking candy from
a baby? There's no way 8-month-old Zoe Malena will part with her
Easter eggs, say her parents, Jennifer and Mike Malena.
