Playing the chimes =)

A couple sunday's ago austin's and i went up to the parents house to celebrate Dad's birthday. It was a jolly good time! We had a delicious dinner, yummy cake, opened presents, sang christmas songs, AND played the chimes!! =) Some of you might be asking yourselves, "what are the chimes?" Well my friend i will tell you =) they are pieces of metal pipe looking things that are different lengths and each play a different note in the scale; A, A#, B, etc =) Well its a tradition in austin's family to play the chimes during christmas time. Each person gets like one or two(there are a lot of notes) and then they had big note cards that have the different numbers on them(because each note has its own number) and then once it came to your number you would hit your chime. =) They were SO much fun to play! It was really loud though when everyone was just hitting them to hit them but overall very fun. I really want a set that we can play with our kids some day =) It would be so much fun! yup, definitely on the wish list for the future =)
