Music Museum

We visited the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad this morning. Parker has been noticing the different instrument sounds in music lately, so I've been naming and describing the different instruments to him. It was nice for him to be able to see them in person--drums, trumpets, saxophones, tubas, guitars, pianos, etc. The best part of the museum, for Parker, was the "interactive" room at the end, where you can put headphones on and try out different instruments. He especially loved the drum set (which sounds really cool through the headphones), but I finally had to pull him off so other kids could have a turn!

(p.s. This was my first experiment editing a video with iMovie on my new computer, so bear with me! It's pretty fun to use, so I'm looking forward to learning how to use it better.)

Here's a clip of Parker and Josie being adorable during our visit to Healdsburg last weekend. This was his first time playing a "real" piano, and he was pretty stoked...we're hoping he'll want to play an instrument someday. And Josie is the happiest, most loving, joyful little girl I've ever known! You can see Em in the background holding Mel's baby, Owen, who is 8 months old now.
