Music & Melody Makers

Our long-time babysitter is an oboist with the Minnesota Youth Symphonies, and she turned us onto the MYS' Music & Melody Makers event. We thought it was a great idea for a Saturday morning, and Collin and Hayley enjoyed trying out all the instruments and listening to the MYS play a short concert for us.
