On July 19, 2008, my family and I spent the afternoon at Six Flags and attended the Boyz II Men Concert. Boyz II Men is perhaps one of most decorated and recognized R&B Groups of the 90s, amassing 4 Grammies and selling more than 60 million records over their career. Their greatest hits include, "Water Runs Dry", "4 Seasons of Loneliness", and my personal favorite "On Bended Knee".
Following the concert, I was able to meet with them personally and offer my thanks for their music. They were very approachable and gracious. I am sure that they had busy schedules and I am grateful that they made time for their fans.

Great first post, Aaron! I'm glad you had such a memorable time and we had so much fun too! I like how I can hear you singing on the video you took. So cute! : ) That's my favorite picture of Elise! (Me blah.)
Aaron,
You know I am a cry baby? Well, listening to your video clip of Boyz to Men singing, brought back memories of listening to you, Marcus and Jace always singing their music.
I really love the picture of Jackie and Mahealani, my how Mahealani has grown. I love talking to Elijah and Mahealani before bed time or whenever they call. I save the messages that Mahealani leaves for me and I listen to them often.
I love you and my wonderful grandchildren and especially a wonderful daughter-in-law!
Love,
Mom
Aaron, I love that you love Boyz II Men. While I only recognized the title "On Bended Knee," just thinking about them brought me back to the early 90s. I love it!
AARON - I LOVE BOYZ II MEN....seriously...I found an old cassette tape that I had of theirs at my moms house when I was there in June, and I meant to bring it back to Maryland with me...I'm serious! I love them! I am so jealous you met them!
also....LOVE the picture of Jackie and Elise. It is beatiful!
Aaron,
WOW what a treat! I loved their music back in the day. My sisters got a similar experience with them in 1997 when they came to Hawaii. They got to go to Planet Hollywood and have dinner with Boyz to Men after their concert. They talked about how gracious and kind they were as well. What a great thing.
Kahi
Fab post Aaron. It makes me laugh. My brother was a big boyz II men fan, so I heard it a lot growing up. Glad you had fun, and survived the heat!
That is so cool that you got to attend that concert. They are one of my most favorite groups ever. Their voices are amazing. Thanks for sharing! Love ya!
I'm so jealous that you guys got to see Boyz II Men!! LUCKY!!
