Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Last summer the Extreme Makeover Home Edition show came to our area. My parents were here visiting and we all rode the bus up and watched the progress. We went up to the job site several evenings over the course of the week. It was amazing to watch the builders and to see how much they got accomplished over 24 hours.

It turned out to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer, so we took our big umbrella and lots of water up with us.
(It's hard to remember how hot it was now that our highs are all in the 3o's).

Here's the kids while we wait for the bus to take us back to our car.

This was only the third day!
We saw a few of the designers and Paul even came over and shook Crazy Fox's hand. Digging Badger was a little nervous, so he started picking his nose. Paul was very encouraging and told him to pick a good one!

The show aired last week and it was really neat to watch how they put it all together. Even though we only stood around and watched, we felt like somehow we had connected with the family. The kids really enjoy the show and always talk about "the crazy guy" Ty.
