What Mary has been up to ...

Mary has had a couple of fun and busy weeks.   She went to see her friend, Mady, play at her piano recital and it has really lit a fire under Mary to want to play.  We are taking this summer to teach her how to read music with a piano program called Piano is Fun.  She is doing great!
 


 
 She has finished up ballet for the 3rd year and is now on summer break for that.  These are pictures of her class and their performance for their dance recital.  She really loves it and is looking forward to starting a new class in the fall.
 

 

 
 Rich has been teaching her how to cast with her fishing pole.  We would like to take her to a lake this summer and catch some trout.

She had a fun day at the spray park with my friend, Peggy Shroy and her grandson Adric.  She loves wearing her little dance skirts with her bathing suit.  I thought is was really cute and modest.


 She planted some holly hock seeds last year and now they are blooming.  She is so proud of her flowers.  They are a double white variety.

 
She had some fun going to the Rail Road Park here in Medford.  They are just a few blocks from us.  It is free and they have great miniature train displays and a really fun train ride for the kids and adults.

We went with some friends we met in Ballet class. They are a lovely family with 8 kids.  Their youngest daughter, Iliana, is in her class and they are enjoying looking at the miniature train display.
The 3 Musketeers, as I call them, are having fun ringing the train bell.  They are Iliana, her brother, Elijah and Mary.  So cute!  Their brother, Isaac, is in the foreground walking the other way.

Wow it does look like you all have been super busy. I always love the ballet photos. I hope Lila will be able to do ballet some day. Looks like Mary is learning a lot this summer.
Have a wonderful Fourth and keep enjoying your summer!
