Bryce Clemons uses chalk to write “Have a Happy Holiday” on the ground.

Children race across the patio at Wonder World Park and Cave to see who can collect the most Easter eggs. Saturday Earth Day festivities were a first for the park.

Ann Steine helps her daughter Lyla fill an egg with environmentaly friendly confetti — made with herbs, leaves and flowers — in order to make cascarones for later. 

Emelyn Gomez uses a brush to carefully paint her design onto her egg’s shell.
