Start of the Pool Season

Mia started the pool season with a splash on a hot and muggy Memorial Day weekend.

Last Day of Preschool

Mia's first year of preschool ended with a celebration in the school's gym. Everyone from her class had mad a tie dye t-shirt and practiced a song

Mia still has to improve her performance skills a little bit but she has come a long way from were she started only nine months ago. She had wonderful teachers and really enjoyed her three hours in the class.

On that last day before her first summer vacation she also enjoyed the juice and muffins that were part of the reception

Lyon Park Fair

This weekend there was a nice little festival in a park in our neighborhood and the weather was just perfect.
There were lots a nice games for children, a band was playing and a pony ride was one of the higkights. About a year ago Mia was still a bit scared when she tried to a pony ride at the county fair but this time she really enjoyed it

She also enjoyed the lollipop tree, the pizza and the bake sale were we bought  two chocolate chip cookies for the nice old ladies.

At the book sale Mia picked a book on big cats

Puzzle

Mia has a collection of four animal puzzles each with 12 pieces. The other day she completed all of them herself and was pretty proud of it.

Open House at French Embassy

This year we spent the open house event of the European embassies at the French one. They had organized an event together with the German embassy which was closed for renovations. So this year no beer garden with sausages and umpha music  but wine, baguette and chansons.

 When Mia saw the face painting stand she wanted to get one as well - her first one ever. Her choice was a purple cat.

There was also a beautiful orange parakeet. Mia was a bit too scared to let hom sit on his shoulder but wanted mama to give it a try

Mother's Day at Pre School

On the last day of school before mother's day the children had prepared a little performance

Mia liked the dancing and falling down part

After that there was some time left to play

Cousin Ben's birthday

At Cousin Ben's birthday part the big surprise was a petting zoo in his parent's backyard. Sine Ma loves cows and other farm animals she was really excited. Too bad it started to rain pretty hard.

Mia of couse also enjoyed the birthday cake.

She also liked to hang out with cousin Ella and watched out for her on the stairs or showed her how to dance
