Dear Maya Bee

Dear Maya Bee,

It has been awhile since I wrote.  You have done some major milestones:

April 18, 2015 you learn to ride a bike without training wheels, which is not easy when you live in the city, on a busy street. I didn't get any video, as I was helping you ride.

May 24, 2015 you learn to tie shoes.

You are super busy with all your activities, Ice skating, gymnastics, 2 days of ballet.  You finished up your ski season at the beginning of April.  Soon, all your other activities will be coming to end.  We can't wait for shows that I know will be great.  Every weekend is pretty full up until we leave for the USA, which you can't wait to go.  I can already tell that the vacation will fly by.  When I started writing this, we were in May, now it is already June 1st. Yikes!

So, backing up a bit, as far as March, here we go:

And some serious ski-cross action:




The rest of the week, was calm for once.  Maya did a couple of art projects at our local mall.  Here is the t-shirt that she designed.



This brings us to the month May, and what the month of a ton of holidays.  We took our annual trip down to the south of France in the Camargue region.  We had great weather and a wonderful time with our friends the Richard family. We did our usual tour on the Rampants de Aigue Mort and the aquarium.










Another long weekend, we had a picnic with friends from Maya's school:

Then the next weekend was also a long weekend, but we stayed put and went to celebrate the 5th birthday of the cafe that she eats twice a week during the school year.  There was a man that did a beautiful sand mandala.








Maya even made the local newspaper!!




 She even got a little art project in.  She is in the middle holding the mask.

And this brings us to this past weekend. May 29 was here annual skating show.  She did a great job:
