Our school district starts offering Strings classes in 4th grade so Jaco is trying his hand at the violin. He goes to class 5 days a week and we are renting his instrument. He seems to be enjoying it and is doing great! Tonight they had what is called a "play in" where all the kids in the district who are taking strings, get together and play together. The high school gym was packed! The kids could wear costumes if they wanted so Jaco went as an orangutan. The 4th graders start learning by plucking the strings. They are just starting to use the bow. This video clip just shows Jaco from the back. Sorry! The place was too crowded to get a front shot. At least you can hear a gym full of kids ranging from 4th grade to high school playing Hot Cross Buns!

That's great that he is showing an interest! Love the costume. I am feeling great. I will post my pictures as soon as I get them from my friend. She took all the pictures on our trip. Did you hear that I thought their concert was so great that I am going to SLC to see them on Nov. 15, my Christmas present!
That is great he is playing the violin! I really want my kids to play an instrument as they get older. Love the costume. I am so happy for you guys with how well everything is going in your new life. You guys seem so happy!
p.s. the word verification this time spelled "licks" thought it was funny!
I love his costume! I'm having memories of Harry and the Hendersons! :) I hope he continues to enjoy the violin. Grandma Finch will be proud!
