Vocal Point

Well our family went to Nauvoo yesterday. Yes we do go down there a lot. It's awesome!! It is especially fun in the summer time because there is so much to do. Yesterday, we went to the temple and then later in the evening, we went to see a BYU performing group called Vocal Point. It was totally free and open to the public. No tickets were even required. It is no big deal to bring the kids, so of course we did. This group is an all male acapella group. The were fantastic!! It was so much fun. They did a wide range of songs and just really put on a great show.

What did the kids think? Well...Adam turns to me and asks, "Mom are these guys famous?" At another point he says, "I think that guy held that note longer than any other note in the whole world!". He loved it. Anna liked the fast, silly songs, but whenever things would slow down a bit, she would wiggle around, start to cry and say, "I want to go home." Lizzy also enjoyed the faster pace of things. Once they were slowing things down a bit, and the stage was really quiet and the lights were all off and she says, very loudly (not quite a yell), "I can't see them!!" Well half the auditorium heard her and gave a hearty laugh. Ben was sleepy and tolerated it all very well. Anytime he would get close to going to sleep, the clapping would wake him up.

Greg and I loved being able to do something fun and different to break the monotony of life. This is not something we get out to do very often, but it is something we both enjoy a great deal. So if you are looking for a good time this summer, come visit us and we'll take you to Nauvoo. The BYU ballroom dance team is coming in a couple of weeks. Then in July is the brand new pagaent. Then BYU folkdancing team is coming in August. The greatest part, it's all free!!
