The City of Carlsbadistan’s Parks & Recreation Department’s 2010 EGGStravaganza Spring Festival was exactly that yesterday as more than 1,000 egg-hunting Easter Bunny fans converged on Poinsettia Park.

Kids were treated to easter egg hunts (for all ages), face painting, cup-cake decorating, gymnastic tumbling, and a seemingly limitless supply of bouncy bounce options. The lines on some of the bouncers were up to 20 minutes long. The longest wait, however, is for getting a photo taken with the Easter Bunny. That line was nearly an hour long at one point.

“We’ve waited in the line so long that we have to get our photo now,” said one mom while waiting for her photo to print. “We have too much time invested to leave.”

One father said he couldn’t believe the crowds. “Last year there was about a quarter of the number of people that are here today,” he said while looking out over the mob of kids. “It must be the weather. Last year it was pretty overcast and today it’s perfect.”

We would like to thank the Carlsbad Parks & Recreation Department and all the volunteers for making the EGGStravaganza an amazingly fun day for everyone.
