The Hectic Month of June

Life around here has been a bit busy, to say the least.  It's all the end of the year activities for the kids, and even for the parents.  I have several posts I want to write up describing certain fun events we have experienced here in the past couple of weeks, but alas to find the time.  So I am posting a photo essay to share our past week - a little bit for everyone! - some city, some natural beauty & some fun!  Hope you enjoy.


Sunny afternoon in Bordeaux.

The girls and I ventured downtown on Sunday afternoon to enjoy the sunshine.

Love all the Flower boxes

The Fountain at Place de La Bourse - having fun with the water.

Another view of the fountain

Water, sculptures & buildings - Place de la Bourse

Looking down along the river

An Afternoon in a Garden  
I attended a lovely luncheon at a friend's house - so peaceful to eat outside in her beautiful yard with views of the neighboring vineyard.  So relaxing and peaceful - The food was delicious too!

The flower centerpieces

The Neighbor's wine!

Another friend made this delicious Charlotte!

The neighbor's vineyard as seen from the backyard - so easy on the eyes!

With this kind of view - Instant relaxation!

Kermesse at the Maternelle

Last Friday night, my youngest daughter has her Kermesse (end of year program) at her Maternelle.  The theme was Circus - Under the Big Top.  I loved the costumes, creativity and bright colors!  A fun evening!

My happy youngest daughter

Costumes were all handmade with simple clothing

A dance number - Again loved all the costumes!

Some acrobatics!

Preparing for her class number!

The Calendar continues this week with the Synchronized Swim team gala & my youngest daughter's circus class performance.  Life just keeps rolling along...Hope you enjoyed a little piece of our life lately!

Have a great rest of the week - and look for more posts soon.
