School's out for Summer

The school year is way longer in England then what I am used to.  July is a full month of holidays in Canada, but Ava's school went until July 20!  We got back from Canada just in time to attend the last week which Ava was excited for.  There was an end of year party, all the kids were invited with their parents.

 Pass the Present

 And every child received a wrapped story book and certificate.  Ava's certificate had special meaning because it called her a Lovely Pickle.  Miss Sue, the coordinator of the program has a special place in her heart for Ava and they love to call each other sweet, crunchy, sour, green pickles.  Ava loves all the attention!

 Ava just loves the West Row Preschool and the teachers.  Her favorites are Miss Emma and Miss Sue Pickle.   They truly are amazing teachers. I wouldn't change a thing about the time Ava got to spend with these ladies.

On the very last day of school, Ava was very excited because she had special treats to hand out.

Owl miss you this summer

 It was a little bitter sweet because all of Ava's same age friends were moving up to Reception in September and Ava was staying back.  We are relocating to Albuquerque, New Mexico in November and she won't qualify for kindergarten in the USA for another year, so signing her up for Reception didn't make sense.

 Owen and Dave were able to pick Ava up on her last day!
