(99.9 KTDY) - It won't be long now until the Easter Bunny drops by to bring wonderful candy, treats, and other gifts to our amazing children. Getting to take a picture with the Easter Bunny is a rite of passage for children and parents alike. This year, Easter Sunday will fall on April 5.

Some of the sweetest family photos we have likely feature our children sitting happily with the Easter Bunny and grinning from ear to ear.

And, for some families, there are those who have pictures with their children crying with the Easter Bunny.

No matter which one or both of those pictures you have, pictures with the Easter Bunny are treasured memories for years to come.

Whether you call him Peter Cottontail, Peter Rabbit, or the Easter Bunny, most children enjoy getting to take a few photos with the big, fluffy bunny! Maybe you could even start a new tradition for Easter this year? You could have your children put their picture with the Easter Bunny near where they leave their baskets, so the Easter Bunny knows how much they love him.

While you want to take the kids for their picture with the Easter Bunny, our schedules are always hectic, so we have put together a convenient list of places where you will find the Easter Bunny. In Acadiana, there are plenty of opportunities to find the Easter Bunny.
