The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Utah has an event every year around Easter time called “Breakfast with Rufus”. Obviously this was our first year to attend the event.
Here are the kids with Rufus, the bear with diabetes:
The Easter Bunny was there ready for pictures. Lyla was very wary at first and didn’t want to have anything to do with him. Then she started to warm up and kept waving at him from a distance. She has been taking about him ever since.
Feeling left out because he doesn’t have diabetes, Nicolas decided to take a nap on Greg:
Lyla had to scope out the field:
Then, while we waited for the egg hunt to start, we went over and saw the ducks. Lyla kept chasing them saying “Come back, ducks, come back!”
Finally the egg hunt started. It lasted about thirty seconds before all the eggs were gone. Luckily it only took Lyla three seconds to figure out what she was supposed to do. She loved the hunt.
At the event there was also a very nice vendor fair where Lyla got a new doll and an accessory for Rufus. She chose a little picnic basket for him. We had a good time at the event. I think we’ll be going back again next year!
