A Hard Nut To Crack

We're not sure what to get Mase for his birthday. When asked what he would like he said "to go to the beach" and "to go back to Animal Kingdom Lodge". He is clearly wise beyond his years...what kid asks for a trip instead of a toy?

Bikes are common gifts for kiddos his age. We asked him if he would like a bike, he's not so sure. He gave several strong no's, then a yes, then acted uninterested. We're not sold on spending $$ on something in which he's semi-interested.

Honestly, he would love a trip to the zoo. The kid is enthralled with animals. But, I'd feel forever guilty for giving him a trip to the zoo as his present. He did tell me that he really wants a "hyena guy" for his birthday, perhaps that will be one of his gifts. Apparently, zebras got bumped to #2 on the "Favorite Animal" list and were readily replaced by hyenas.

Most of you know that we're into wooden, eco-friendly toys for Mase. In my searches, I found this lovely camp fire stacking toy. Isn't it great!?

Mase loves the great outdoors and since he's having a camping theme for his party, the toy seems fitting.

Hyena guy - check
Fire stacker - check

I have no clue what else to get him. He's a hard nut to crack.

Send any ideas you have our way!
