  1. Our whole family including the 3 year old little boy loved your Mono Lake Indian tee pee with the music inside. He kept looking inside to see if it was a real Indian! He was enchanted with the constant play of music inside the tee pee hut made of wood looking very real. Thanks for your excellent displays!
