Day 1,201: Save the Bees!

Madison and Jack have been reading their bee books and are on the same mission as last summer… saving the bees! This year they purchased a bee barn for pollinating bees to have a safe nesting house and to provide shelter for butterfly’s.

Day 1,194: Celebrations

Madison had a great day of activity.

Her day started with a fun morning at March of Dimes! After some lunch and colouring with Suzanne she headed to Variety Village.

Madison has made the transition to most environments with just her canes or nothing, but the pool deck has been tricky for her. She gets nervous with the water on deck as she slips quite a bit. Today she decided to try her canes and she did great! She also tried to teach herself to walk backwards in the pool. After her swim she headed to the gym for a workout with Melissa!

 

After all her hard work it was time to celebrate her Flames teammate Aly who just broke a world record at Canadian Trials this past weekend. She will be swimming at the World Championships this summer and Madison is looking forward to watching and cheering her on.
