You know I had to check and recheck this story because it came
out yesterday…..April Fools Day….but sure enough it’s crazy and true! New Orleans is celebrating Easter this year with an Easter Dinosaur instead of the Easter Bunny. A homeowner has placed the Easter-Saur on their front porch, along with a huge sign that reads, “Bunnies don’t lay eggs, but dinosaurs do.” I’m no
expert, but it kind of looks like a T-Rex. The giant dinosaur is green and yellow and is holding flowers and an Easter basket filled with plastic eggs.
The San Diego zoo bringing Live animal adventures to 400 Children’s hospitals in 12 countries. By streaming animal encounters and wildlife cams 24/7…the hospital is bringing the
