then we spent the afternoon at the van dusen gardens where kai had fun learning about spring beginnings and in particular how the bees, the flowers and all the other life makes spring so special. his favourite part was pollinating the flowers.  van dusen gardens, all 55 acres of it, is right nearby our home and is quite spectacular. 

from the website, "The garden design features displays of plants in picturesque landscape settings. Specific garden areas are planted to illustrate botanical relationships, such as the Rhododendron Walk, or geographical origins, as in Sino Himalayan Garden. These areas are set amidst rolling lawns, tranquil lakes and dramatic rockwork with vistas of the mountains and Vancouver cityscape."
 
      
 

we ended the day with a most delicious dinner.  stefan cooked up the best vietnamese spring rolls.  the three of us inhaled our dinner.
