Move That Bus! Move That Bus! Move that bus...

This post written by guest blogger - Caroline



Home Extreme Makeover was near our area this week. We decided to at least try it and see how long everyone would last in the extreme heat of 95 degrees. :) This was the last day and we hoped we would get to see the family come home. Needless to say it was very crowded. (See below)






What was kind of fun to see the behind the scenes of how they made the show. For example when the family comes home they have to focus on getting all the shots of the family's reaction so before the limo even got there the camera crew got 5 shots of the crowd chanting "Move that bus! move that bus! move that bus!" They also got multiple shots of the bus pulling away. We also got to see Ty from a distance.


Even though it was hot, sweaty and we were in the very back of the crowd, it was kind of fun to be in the action. At one point when we were starting to get to the end of our rope, Paul (a member of the design team) got on a mega phone and told every on that the family would be home in 2 minutes. The whole place erupted. However, it wasn't until 45 minutes later that the limo pulled down the street. Due to many filed complains within the 45 minitues Mom decided that we would stay till the big Move That Bus moment.


It is supposed to air the second week of the new season. (some day in October) I doubt we'll be seen, but you should hear our voices!







someone was very tired

How cool. Beth often talks of how God makes change in us. Sometimes He can and does choose the extreme makeover kind of change but for many times its the simple slow moving change that He does in us. Sometimes we expect the "move that bus kind of thing". Funny that you have that video, maybe Beth can borrow it. Sounds like a fun experience, that you kids can say, remember when Mom drug us out to the EHMO show. Love you
