A whole new world!

The recent road trip to California was such a memorable one! So many "first times" discovered!

Our favourite one was witnessing the snowfall in Sequoia National Parks. Since summer is not officially here yet, certain roads in the parks remain closed till early June, maybe due to snow which made the roads inaccessible. Therefore, we were not surprised when the road to Giant Forest were suddenly closed for almost 2 hours. Decided to just wait since we were already there. And boy, were we glad that we did just that! It began snowing the moment we parked our car... Our very 1st snowfall... 

Off to Yosemite the next day and we were greeted by the magnificent views and waterfall...

Below is a video of the beautiful moments which we captured as we wanted to preserve the lovely memories in ours' and the kids' memory bank. Enjoy!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars

Watching Adam Hicks play keyboard in the movie Lemonade Mouth could have triggered Zac's deep interest in the instrument. Zac has been hitting the keyboard at home and singing at the same time, pretending that the beat coming from it matches the song, although I must admit that it is totally not in tune... 

Then one night, while Echo was here, Zac, on his own initiative, asked Echo to teach him how to play the keyboard.  Echo taught him how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars, and since that night, that's about the only song that can be heard in our house each time Zac turns on the keyboard.

To Echo, Zac wants you to watch this. He's learning to use two fingers to play the same beat but on a different octave. Not sure if I described it correctly, but I remember you mentioning something about octave. :)
