March is ending and the big events of April are beginning with Easter  Egg Hunts and Earth Day  Activities. My big Easter Egg Hunts post will come out in the next few days, as many neighborhoods are still  recruiting volunteers and nailing down particulars.  (I do list the big Pierrepont Playground  Spring Egg Hunt at the end of this post).  As for  March, we have plenty of activities to keep us all engaged:  I am excited to see Rolie Polie Guacamole perform free at the main library, check out World Theater Day and do some improv theater myself along with some acting-savvy kids,  catch one of Streb’s wild acrobatic shows and possibly disco away at Baby Loves Disco.  Drop the ball, baby!
