jericho beach park

we spent the day today at jericho beach participating in pedalheads' treasure hunt.  pedalheads is a summer bike camp that kai has been a part for many years.  they put on a treasure hunt event every spring.  clues lead the kids from bike challenge to bike challenge.  there was lots of riding and prezzies at the end, much to kai's delight.

jericho beach is a popular destination in the kitsilano neighbourhood.  it's sandy beach is surrounded by a park that is home to a lovely duck pond.  the views of downtown and stanley park are gorgeous.  the jericho sailing club is located here so sailboats and windsurfers are plentiful.  rabbits can be seen hopping around here too!  we have fun with kai spotting them (and we always forget to bring carrots!).

after the pedalheads event, we ate at the sailing club, their restaurant the galley is quite good and the view is spectacular.  this is a place we often bring visitors.  then we had a little football match before heading home.  it was such a lovely afternoon and so nice to be sunkissed!
