MIM!!!

Ok so a ton of stuff has happened but I'm just going to touch on something we did last month.

Me (Holli), Heidi, Hope, and Dad went to the Music Instrument Museum (MIM). It was so fun we saw the coolest things. The day we went they were featuring the country Brazil. Since my dad went to Brazil we just had to go! At the MIM they have rooms for about each continent (with sections for each country), a room to play some of the instruments, and a room for kids to make a craft!





Here's an instrument from Brazil.....Dad actually owns one of these. He got it from his mission.


Ok so I don't remember the name to this one exactly but it was cool!!:) Dad wore his Brazil shirt.

This was HUGE!!! Especially compared to Heidi. Haha!! In order to play this there are stairs to stand on. (you can't see them but they are behind Heidi).

Of course I ignored the word kids and made the craft anyways. This is a Carnival bracelet. It was super easy and super cute! They also had a double bell craft that you could make ,which I did, but I don't have a picture.



This is Hope listening to a video about a phonograph. When you get there, they give you head phones and this other thing, that i don't know the name of, so when you walk around you can listen to videos of the different instruments, artists, and/or cultures.

Under the instruments they had plaques explaining it's history. This is one about the dance organ from Belgium.

This is a cool star guitar that I know nothing about because I didn't take this picture but it is very cool! Oh and Heidi.:0 ....she's supposed to be playing it! She thinks she's so cool!

A frog instrument. To play it you take the stick lying next to it and scratch its back! :)


So try and guess which rooms we spent the longest in.....





Of course it was:
the room that we could play the instruments in and...



the gift shop! :)


A record purse!
A record mirror!A fishy coin purse! .....super cute!

So that was our amazingly fun trip to the MIM! You all should check it out! It's pretty cool! I guarantee you'll love it!
