Owen Playing Bagpipes?!?!

For those of you who don't already know, my very talented Brother-In-Law Chris playes the Bagpipes! He has been playing for about 10 years now and has even taken a couple trips to Scottland to compete competitively. He is really really good at them and it is so entertaining to watch. Well, last night my Sis and Bro-In-Law invited our trio over for dinner. I think everyone is trying to spend some much needed time with the Burgess' before we go into hiding after having our sweet baby girl in a couple weeks. Yikes, yes I said weeks. Anyway, after dinner Uncle Chris got out the mouth piece thingy from his bagpipe and started playing a couple songs for Owen. Of course, Owen was not okay with just watching the demonstration, so Uncle Chris decided to let him have a try. He did rather well, meaning noise actually came out when he blew into it! He was so proud of himself. After that demonstration, Uncle Chris decided to bring out the real deal and see how Owen would react. Quick note: the mouth piece does not make nearly the loud noise the entire bagpipes do. Well, after being completely shocked and curled up in Daddy's arms, Owen realized that it was just music and stood up and danced all around their living room to the wonderful music. Lol.
