Nate's a bit of a city kid so he loves it when we have a chance to visit a farm. For him, chicken means something breaded in the form of a nugget, not something with two legs that pecks around a field. Our friends who live in this beautiful rural setting had invited us down for the day. They'd won a musical performance in a charity silent auction, so they used that as an opportunity to have everyone come on over and spend an idyllic afternoon out in the country.
The band used an African tribal drum as their rhythm section rather than a standard drum kit, maybe because the space was small or maybe because that was their thing. Either way the kids sure enjoyed showing off their musical "talents." Well, at least they were enthusiastic. Now don't anyone go quitting your day jobs!
Uh oh... looks like one of the gang got moved a little too much by the dancing spirit. Her mom was on the scene quickly and everything was fine. Sean seemed to take notice but the other two were oblivious, not wanting to lose that beat.
They played so well that the band invited them back on stage for an encore. Nate played a rousing tambourine solo with his little friend. The folks in the band were really good sports and actually seemed to enjoy having kids run around and across the stage during most of their performance. Nate said his favorite part of the day was "playing in the band" so maybe music lessons are in his future.
