Bunny Day

The Happy Home Academy sent me two letters today, one with a punching bag to commemorate my new room, and the other with a bronze HHA plaque for topping 20,000 points. Agent S also sent me an exercise bike for my new room. I wasn’t planning on making my new addition an exercise room, but it’s already looking that way. 💪

Unfortunately, I can’t even sit on the bike, let alone ride it. 🙁

Today is Bunny Day (Easter Sunday), so Zipper T. Bunny was standing at the event plaza. 🐰

Zipper: Boingity boing! Hey there, skipper! It's me...Zipper!

Zipper gave me a bunny day arch recipe. The arch is really cool, and it’s easily my favorite item of the Bunny Day items. I made one and returned to Zipper. He told me I had now crafted every piece of the Bunny Day recipes except for one. One that looks like him. Yikes.

He saved the worst for last.

The only problem (well, aside from the prospect of seeing Zipper’s freaky face on a wobbling toy) is that I didn’t have enough water eggs. I had plenty of everything else though. (I had at least 25 of every other kind, but only one water egg). So I had to go fishing for more…or is that egging for more? 🥚

Once I had enough, I crafted the toy and returned to Zipper. My reward was yet another recipe. This one was for a Bunny Day wand. The wand requires the wobbling Zipper toy and three star fragments. I only had two star fragments in storage, so I was unable to make the wand today.

Zipper also had something else for me. After giving him one egg of each type, he gave me a Bunny Day basket. He also had a trading service available, where I could trade three of one type of egg for one egg that I needed. For example, I could trade three sky eggs for one water egg.

By the way, all of the outdoor villagers were wearing Bunny Day eggshell outfits. Some of them, including Tia, looked really cute this way.

Tia: I felt like wearing something special for Bunny Day. I hope everyone likes it, teacup!

But Marcel didn’t fare as well. The egg shell made him look like a dunce. 😛

Rizzo spent the day indoors reading. He looks even weirder with glasses on. 😛

I put in a springy ride-on (toy), but unfortunately I can’t even sit on it. I was very disappointed by that. I’m hoping at least villagers can ride it? That would make for some very cute pictures. 🙂

At town hall, Tom Nook informed me that he can now customize my house. I could change my roof color or my mailbox, but I didn’t want to change anything right now.

With no further use of my eggs required, I started crafting some things. I made five arches, which I placed leading a path to my sumo ring. I’m sure I won’t keep it like this forever, but I like it for now. Maybe I could replace it with some other type of arches in the future.

After that, I started crafting like crazy just to use up my remaining eggs. When I sold everything (except for the five arches and the toy I’m keeping for the wand), I racked up a total of about 120,000 bells. That’s actually less than I was hoping for, considering how much work and annoyance these eggs have been over the past 12 days. I can always sell the arches at some point in the future too, and they’re the most valuable of all.

I’m glad it’s all over now, and I now have about 15 free spaces in my inventory. Whew.

My last task of the day was to commission a natural ramp, between Midge’s house and Marcel’s house. It will be my first ramp when it opens up tomorrow.

I hope you all had a good Bunny Day and a Happy Easter! I’ll see you next time! 🙂
