Budding Musicians

On Saturday Eli and I needed to leave the house so Edgar could pull up all the tile in the kitchen & laundry room. What a job! Edgar did most of it himself-his dad came over for the last couple of hours to help clean up. He was exhausted. BUT, he got it all out in one day-way to go!

Eli and I did no work and all play :) We went over to Abuela's house and had a day of fun. Katie was there too, because her mom and dad were out of town. The kids played so good together. We went to the pool for a while-Katie is getting more and more brave each summer! Eli loves the water too. They were pretty sad to leave.

I didn't take any pictures all day until they got the instruments out. Katie was playing and singing along. She was making up the most interesting songs :)
She loved her tambourine!

Eli enjoyed playing his Maracas too!

After a bath for Eli, Abuela joined in. I can't remember what the instrument she is playing is named...but Eli loved it. She told me it's actually a fruit that is hollowed out and then ridges are made on it. You use a little 'tool' to rub over it to make a sound. It's a rhythm instrument.

Eli wanted a turn! I have some videos, but with my new camera I haven't figured out how to view them on the computer, and have yet to try and upload it onto the blog...I need to figure it out, because the kids were being so cute!

We had lots of fun, ate WAY too much, and went home good and tired :) The perfect day!
