we let kai choose what he wanted to do/eat today. the first item on the list was the opening of presents of course! let's just say that it was lego overload. this was followed by a decadent breakfast of dad-made scones with strawberries, cream, and chocolate.

kai wanted to hike today so we went up cypress mountain for a 4 hour hike - this is one that kai has done since he was a baby sitting lazily on his dad's back. the hollyburn peak trail is the perfect escape into the wilderness. it's a steady climb offering gorgeous views of the city below. unavoidably we pass through meadows of blueberry bushes which the bears feast on just before hibernation. fortunately there were no bear sightings, perhaps the bear bell worked!

when we returned we had more decadence, a mini cake from thomas haas the chocolatier! then kai and his dad got to the business of putting together the new at at lego.
 |
update: the result of the lego building 98% kai built/2% dad assisted |
the day ended with a delicious dinner at hy's steakhouse, one of the places kai and his dad will treat themselves to for a boy's night out date.

cheers to beautiful kai |
as a fellow hiker on the trail passed us by, he said , "your son is a happy little guy". kai was up ahead of us hiking, singing, and humming. he had "an awesome day"! we all did. thank you kai for organizing such a lovely day.
