4 Cool Things to do bySummer's End

Have you seen that video going around about the father and daughter who learn a dance routine together to surprise the mom? It made me think about some of the things we discovered this summer as a family, and a couple unique things we really want to try. Summer’s not over yet! Outsource a posh picnic in Stanley ParkHow many times have we thought, “Let’s have a picnic!” But when push came to prep, we balked over all the work involved and don’t follow through. Enter Picnix. This enterprising new company will meet you in Stanley Park with a little wooden crate on wheels, containing a full meal, cutlery, and red-and-white checkered picnic blanket. They even pick it up when you’re finished!Picnix at Stanley Park, 778-889-7706Have fancy, kid-friendly Japanese food downtownI’d heard so much about this high-end Japanese restaurant from all the right bloggers and photographers. For my birthday, I thought we’d just try a weekend lunchtime with my son and hope for the best. How pleased was I to find out they are kid-friendly – a secret kids menu, cool sushi colouring sheets, and high chairs. Definitely aim for weekend lunch or an early dinner.Minami, 1118 Mainland Street, VancouverFind more great tips (and fun things to do before summer's end) at www.vancouvermom.caDownload JellyBeen, the social mobile app to find the best places to shop, eat and play with kids.VancIty Contest!
