Lil' Drummer Boy

After we left Maw-Maw Lin & Paw-Paw Bip's, we stayed with my Aunt Sarah in Baton Rouge. Her hubbie was gone for the weekend & her two college-age boys, Ben & Jeffrey, are in & out, so we got to see them here & there, mainly in the evenings. Ben is the younger of the two & really amazed me one evening by OFFERING to let William play his drums. Now, most guys I know that age (20) don't want kiddos anywhere near their stuff because, as we all know, little boys are curious & like to occasionally break things. Ben, on the other hand, seemed delighted to show William how they worked & to let him bang away. Here Ben is helping William over to the drums:

And, William trying to figure it all out:

And trying to figure out how the cymbals worked:

As you can see, my little guy was truly amazed by the drum set. We even heard him "boom, boom, booming" on the base drum later! Thanks to "Cousin Ben"!!
