Thanks to the One2One Network, I had the opportunity to see Yanni Voices live in concert this past week and I can sum it all up in one word: A-MAZ-ING!  It was fabulous from start to finish, each voice, each instrument, each song, every single performance – and performer.

 

It was beautiful and very well arranged.  If Yanni Voices is coming to your area and you are on the fence about going or thinking you’ll pass it up, give it a better look and take a chance. It greatly exceeded my expectations, even though I had already heard a lot of great things about the performance.

 

I had so much fun! I took pics with my camera phone, but since it is being hormonal and will not send pic messages, I cannot retrieve those. Thankfully, my sister took some with hers (the ones you see in this post).  I also attempted to live-tweet the concert, but just discovered it went through to Facebook, but not Twitter. Weird.

 

My thoughts during the show:

 

Going to see Yanni Voices tonight!!

Even when I have no idea what they are saying, the music is still very moving.

Victor on the harp. Something so magical about a harp.

April 13 at 9:45pm

 

Sending pics via twitpic & fb is out b/c my phone is obviously hormonal. Just saying.

April 13 at 9:49pm

 

Introducing orchestra… & moved right into a very upbeat song. Anyone wanna dance with me?

Annnnd…. It is still raining. Also? Tornado watch. Nice.

It rained before, during, and after the show and sometimes I wondered if I was hearing thunder or an instrument!  We arrived home safe and sound after an awesome girls night out listening to Yanni Voices!!! Thank you Arianne for setting everything up for our awesome night!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Planning our trip to Disney reminds me of Lil Roo’s last trip to a theme park – Seaworld.

 

 

It was simply amazing!

 

 

 

We were sent to visit the awesomeness by Izea and Seaworld and all I could say about that is a huge Thank You!  Our family had the best time, Lil Roo especially.  Even as I type this, the Shamu chant comes back to mind just as quickly as when I sat watching the show (twice!). And I’m sure it’ll be stuck in my head for a little while (then again each time I remember the trip!)  – but that’s ok, I love it! 

 

 

 

 

 

The Believe show is a must see, hands down. I think everyone has heard of Shamu, but until you see the show for yourself, you have no idea what you are missing. We didn’t feed the dolphins (which I now regret immensely) but we did get up close as they swam by and played – so cute!  We walked around and visited every water creature we could find as well as everything that wasn’t a water creature!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Highlights:

 

The Sky Tower: 400 feet up, we were able to see the entire park from a bird’s eye view as it rotated slowly & continuously in a circle.  It was a quiet and relaxing break from all the walking and activity of the park below.

 

Shamu’s Happy Harbor: Full-fledge fun for all the kiddos!  Lil Roo especially loved the pirate ship!

 

Shamu Stadium & The Believe Show: A-maz-ing. But I already told you that.

 

Water creatures galore!!  Wild Artic – especially the penguins!  Dolphins – he loved watching them play up close!  Shark Encounter, and so many others.
