961220Disneyland
第一天到加州的迪士尼樂園,導遊先帶著我們玩大眾皆宜的遊樂設施,雖是大眾皆宜,卻也不馬乎,每一個都驚奇萬分。一站接著一站,連午餐也各自利用排隊時拿零食充饑,所以也沒時間拍照、買東西。下午看了花車遊行,晚上看水幕燈光秀及施放煙火,樣樣都令人嘆為觀止!這次田大膽也有了挑戰Splash mountain、Space mountain的記錄!

第二天到環球影城,導遊說這裡已自成一個City,可見規模非比尋常。我們除了看定點的節目,還參觀製片場,Jacky、Cindy都對如此逼真又大手比筆的場面印象深刻。另外,走在區內不預期的遇到電影人物,也會令人感到十分驚喜!

961223Grand Canyon
早上四點就驅車上山,前往世界奇景—大峽谷,沿路盡是黃沙,氣溫在零度以下,早餐就在途中的便利店草草解決,越接近山上,積雪越多,一下車,昌杰就已滾入雪堆了,還好太陽出來後,就暖和多了。接著,我們到旅客中心看了介紹大峽谷的影片。

最後一站到拉斯維加斯,這兒真是極盡奢華的天堂,白天像是清秀佳人,夜晚卻是風情萬種,除了賭場、各式各樣秀場,還有世界品牌專賣店。當然,我們在這只能參觀免費的飯店景觀:

961123文藝復興
這是德州一年一度維期八周的文藝復興節,這裡離我們住家約車程一小時,佔地很大,是專門提供這個活動使用,八周後,這個表演團體會轉往其它定點巡迴表演。
除了有各種定點定時的大型節目表演,會場內也可看到很多奇特的小型表演,有趣的是,很多遊客也把自己打扮成當時年代的穿著,真是宛如置身文藝復興。街道兩旁也有各式商家,會場內當然也有提供趣味遊戲,而且也是復古的,像是人力鞦韆、人力旋轉盤。

961103Cindy— The first chair of region band
BubbleShare: Share photos - Thanksgivingtime!
Yesterday, Friday, I had my first region band try out. I worked really hard on the music, but still I got nervous really bad! I was in the A group. We had to play our xylophone piece first. I was glad because I knew all the notes and even memorized it. I played just well; I only missed one note on the song! Then we had to go to another room for the snare drum try out. I did pretty well on the snare drum too! I rolled good and I successfully showed the dynamics! When the results came out, I was crying because I was the second chair on the sheet!! Some of my friends cried too, but it was different. They were crying because they did not make it. I felt so bad for them. They worked so hard on their music. By the time I got home, it was 10:00.
The next day, we were racing for what chair are you and what band are you going to be. Either is Symphonic Band, Concert Band, or District Band. We had to play snare drum, xylophone, and timpani. I played really good on those instruments. When they put the results on, I was shocked because I could not believe I was the first chair in the Symphonic Band! My friends ran in to me and hugged me. They were glad that I made it. Those people who made the other chairs in other school were very surprised because they didn’t know that I was in sixth grade. They came and gave me some high fives.
接著由老媽來解釋:就在田昕獲得如此殊榮時,其實當爸媽的我們還搞不清狀況,後來經其他華人家長解釋才知道:我們這區共九所國中的樂團資優生都要參加一年一度的全區能力考試,除了是個人的榮譽,也是各校較量的機會,大家無不卯足全力。而打擊部分共九十位參賽,第一天錄取二十個人,這些人才有資格參加隔日排名考試,考試的項目有小鼓、木琴,還有定音鼓,結果田昕以六年級的身分獲得第一名,在場引起很大轟動,學校所有參賽者及老師都為她喝彩!大家說Cindy可能是創下空前絕後的記錄。田昕的學校拿到兩個首席,而他就是其中之一,這不但是學校之光,也是華人之光!現在除了王建民,還要再加上田雨昕!

961001New House
近況:田昕進國中後被安排到八年級的管絃樂團,要參加的活動就多了很多,也時常有表演。田昕每天要上兩堂高階班的ESL課,作業量時常很多。除此她還有ㄧ週兩次的個人打擊課。當然,還有其他科目的作業及測驗,田昕都能自己管理的很好,從每個月寄回的成績單,田昕總是每科九十以上,甚至很多是滿分,最近她正嘗試作詞作曲!
昌杰的網球課多了每週一小時的團體班,這趣味性就高於個人班了,所以昌杰很喜歡,而且他總是信心滿滿地說他是當中最棒的!上週五我們參加親師懇談會,有兩位級任和兩位ESL老師和我們父母單獨會談,他們都驚訝於昌杰如此的進步,後來其中一位級任說:Jacky is social!He is the football star and basketball star in our class!He is popular!But,sometimes he talks too mush.這時實在很尷尬,老師還在解釋時,我已火冒三丈,心想這小子在台灣愛講話被罰站,在這講英文也能如此多話,要不是爸爸求情,我真想好好修理這小子!
而我每天最重要的事就是按孩子的課程當接送司機,再來就是每天早上上ESL課,真是很吃力,總是過目就忘,爸爸藉機告訴田昕昌杰:「這就是少壯不努力,老大徒傷悲!」

960920Tiger Tien
在美國這段時間,最快樂的就屬JACKY了,每天最重要的事就是玩,凡是想得到的運動他都嘗試了,游泳、騎腳踏車、打保齡球、溜冰、釣魚等,爸爸也幫他買了各式用品:足球、籃球、棒球、網球,甚至最近才買的高爾夫球具。當然,爸爸也找機會帶他看各種運動比賽。之前看了火箭隊籃球賽,JACKY就猛練籃球,他覺得自己打得像姚明一樣好。看了棒球賽,他說以後也要像王建民一樣當投手,然後賺大錢買房子給爸媽。最近買了高爾夫球具,當然他的志向又改了。爸爸看昌杰愛運動決定讓他學網球,原本不收小孩及初學者的教練竟然同意教JACKY,他說他看過JACKY打網球,他認為JACKY打得不錯(當然這要感謝HERB舅舅的啟蒙),很有潛力,甚至未來可以參賽,我這個媽已經開始想像紅透半邊天、紅透全世界的Jacky Tien未來模樣了
