It’s spring time at last and Easter is Sunday, April 1 (no fooling!). But before all of the egg hunt fun takes place, take your kids for pics with the Easter Bunny. Local malls are hosting the Easter Bunny now in preparation for that special Easter photo you want to have year after year. Because kids can be tricky to photograph, before you take them for their photo shoot, make sure all of your kids are well rested, fed and ready for the experience. Have a few tricks up your sleeve in anticipation of a line (especially if you go on a Saturday). Here are malls and visiting times for the Middle Tennessee area:
