The MIM - not just for nerds after all

In an effort to appease my Dad, we all took a trip to The MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) in Scottsdale. Turns out, the old guy was on to something.
Kyle was SO excited about getting to wear earphones the whole time.
There is a room at the MIM where you can try out different instruments from around the world - so much fun! Here are Big Jim Wick and Little Jim Wick doing a duet.
Little Jim Wick's solo - he was beating the tar out of those Vietnamese prayer gongs (or whatever they were - I was too busy fretting over Kyle or Ryan breaking an instrument to learn anything)
Kyle gets INTO IT!
"Here Papa, you just do like this. I'm an instrument expert."
Everyone was allowed one swing at the big gong. Ryan was gettin' it on and bangin' a gong!
Kyle liked to go wherever his Uncle Matt was and just step right in front of him.
And this is where we spent literally 20 to 30 minutes of the tour. Kyle, unbeknownst to me, LOVES Hawaiian music. He watched the same videos about native Hawaiian music and ukuleles about 5 times.
