A.J. Miller, 16 months old, got a special Easter surprise Sunday at his home in Lake Stevens.
A.J. and his family were outside having a picnic dinner when a baby rabbit hopped into the yard.
No, it wasn’t carrying an Easter basket. Bunnies deliver Easter baskets before dawn.
A.J. tossed a ball to a neighbor, who bent over to pick it up and discovered a nest with two more baby bunnies in it. A.J.’s mother, Alyssa Miller, said they reunited the baby bunnies and hoped the mother would return.
Ever take that long, lonely drive to Washington State University in Pullman?
Perhaps you have a student there who will be on special assignment Friday.
WSU students will be stationed along three five-mile stretches of Highway 26 as part of the final installment in a museum exhibit on what they call the most boring highway in the nation.
Students will hold up reader boards reminiscent of the old Burma Shave signs that will reveal information about the highway.
It’s hoped that families arriving for WSU Mother’s Weekend will enjoy the roadside show.
