YIKES! I said I wanted to be a MERMAID….
NOT a Manatee! hahaha!
Well, at least we can go to Weeki Wachee and SEE the Mermaids!
And what an amazing show!
Here’s an idea of what we saw when the curtains went up!
I cropped my photos to create a prettier Mosaic.
“The Little Mermaid” is acted out with the greatest of ease, underwater here at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. (with just one scene on the stage)
They warn you that the story has some scary parts….
but I won’t give it all away!
If you are ever in this part of the state (Spring Hill, Florida)…it’s a MUST SEE! You can google it for more info, photos, and videos. I’ve had such fun learning more about it since we got home. I’m so glad it’s close by so that we can go again! (and if I owe you a visit or an email, I’m WAY behind! We’re having so much FUN this Spring….but I’ll visit soon!)
I’m joining
and Sundays in my City!

I think the girls would love to see a mermaid show. How magical.
How cool.
I bet it was a awesome show.
You are so cute.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Woolie hugs
That show is awesome. I saw it a couple of years ago. Just magical. You look like you had a wonderful time ~
That looks like it would be really fun to see!
My daughters would have loved it especially when they were in their My Little Mermaid phase!!
I love the manatee. Such gentle giants. Little Mermaid under water must be so cool to see.
I read somewhere that ancient sailors believed that manatees were mermaids. I've seen manatees, they are not even close to the beautiful creatures I imagine mermaids are. Still they are fascinating.
I didn't know they still gave those underwater performances. Wonderful. You sure make a cute manatee.:):) xoxo,Susie
I love mermaids! Wish I could swim like one!! xo
Aww me love mermaid too :)
Hugs
Looks like a fun trip!! It's amazing what they can do at a show like that. Wouldn't the kids love that?

What fun. I am never likely to get to that part of the world sadly. Enjoy while you can. Diane
I want to be a mermaid too. Who doesn't? Have fun enjoying spring.
I would love to see this and I will be coming to Florida next year and I hope to see this in person!
I went to Weeki Wachee a few times when I was a little girl. For an embarrassing number of years when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said I wanted to be a mermaid. lol. I haven't been there in nearly 20 years... I think it's time to go back! :)
Oh that looks like so much fun-I have never heard of a mermaid show before.
Have a good week
I can't believe they still have the Mermaid show at Weeki Wachee!!
My sister wanted to see the mermaids for her 10th birthday in 1968, so we drove down from St. Augustine to watch a show and drove home. Doesn't look like it's changed a bit :-}}
I so want to visit Weeki Watchee and swim with Manatees. It's on my bucket list. I just saw an episode of My Crazy Obsession about a guy who makes mermaid fins and swims there occasionally. I think it's really cool.
What a cute picture of you Diane:-) Looks like such a fun day.
The show looks like fun. We used to go to Silver Springs a lot but I don't know if it's even open any more.

I always wanted to be a mermaid but last year my wee grand girl told me you be the fairy and I will be the mermaid. So I guess now I am a fairy!!!
Smiles,Dottie
What fun! I think every little girl would like to be a mermaid.
Looks like a fun show! We were somewhat nearby during our vacation, but short of time. Thanks for sharing your visit. Have a happy week!
Sounds like a wonderful visit!
Awesome show. Enjoy your week:)
That looks amazing ... what an experience! Glad you are enjoying this spring time.
Goodness, what memories this evokes. I used to live "down the road" (a bit) from WW, but NEVER actually saw a show. Loved the pix of you and the manatee!
Wishing you another FUN-filled week!
YES, I will do this if I’m ever near here. It looks like a really good time and lots of fun. Thanks for the peek, it looks exciting. Happy week Diane.............

Hi Diane,

Looks like you are enjoying the springtime.
Have a great week.
Hugs, CM
The show looks like fun. Have a great week Diane.
How fun...A manatee show, I mean a Mermaid show! Well. you were also a good "show" in the Manatee costume! Happy to hear you're having so much Spring Fun! Happy Spring! sandy :)
I loved watching The Little Mermaid with my girls when they were young, but I really don't like swimming in the ocean with all the "creatures." Love your photos, XOXO
That would be a fun show to watch. I had never heard of it before now. Such talent - and technology.
Love the photo of you as a manatee/mermaid! So much fun.
Hahaha, love your mermaid photo!
I love Weeki Wachee! We haven't been in ages.
Hello from cold Michigan. Loved seeing all the pretty mermaids. I remember going there a very very long time ago... I would love to see it again. I am so glad you did not turn into a Mermaid. Hugs Judy
That's different, how cool!
Fun post and you got some great shots! :)
amazing! I have never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing with us.
Have a wonderful week and thank you also for stopping by my blog today.
I saw a clip of those mermaids on tv a while back and have to wonder how they swim in those costumes. Looks like it would be hard to do! I'm glad you had such a nice time at the show and hope you have a great week!
FABULOUS!! I would love to come see the show. One day I hope!
Glad you had a great time.

What a fun adventure.
Looks like a great show! I want to return to Florida for a visit some day. There is much to see and I'll put this on my bucket list. Have fun!
You really are having a fun Spring!! Lots of trips and interesting things to see and do. I've always wanted to see this show and maybe a trip to Florida in my future...you just never now!
hugs, Linda
That does look like a fun show. Your photos have me smiling this morning.
Hugs~
Oh to be a beautiful mermaid so graceful in the water. Great show. Valerie
I've wanted to go to Weeki Watchee forever..I remember reading about the mermaid shows in Life Magazine when I was just a little girl (I told you it was forever!)....we are going to try to get that way when we leave here in June. If we get away on time. Thanks for the pictures!!!
Ha-ha:) Next time you'll be the mermaid. Lovely mosaic. Thanks for your nice comment on my post.
Weeki Wachee looks like a lot of fun!!
Hi Diane, Thanks for sharing your mermaid show and thanks for your visit and comment. Have a wonderful week. Joyous Wishes, Linda
Diane, this looks beautiful! I'd love to be able to see this show. That Manatee looks so cute with your face!! laurie
I always wanted to see this show as I've heard so much about it since my childhood. Unfortunately, we never were able to see it on our past trips to Floriada...but hopefully someday I will!
Keep enjoyig all your happy adventures!
My daughter....and, well, me too....would be enthralled! Looks incredible!
How cool is that! It looks like an amazing show! I wish I lived closer!

That must have been a lot of fun! I can imagine it must be a wonderful place to take a special little girl.
Well you make a cute manatee too:) Looks like great fun!
I am sure that you all enjoyed yourselves very much and you make a very cute Manatee!
Hi namemate! I think I saw this featured in a cable channel. You are so fortunate to personally experienced it. I wonder how hard they trained to achieved that elegant and synchronized swim :)
Thank you for forever linking up :) Wishing you a great week ahead!
I love the whole post, but you really cracked me up with the opening.
LOL, I must say you are a lovely manatee. Wow, the mermaid show is amazing! You are lucky to be in an area where there is so much to do and see!
Thanks,
Linda
