Channel 12 News

The kids had an opportunity to be on TV.  Channel 12 to be exact in the early hours of the morning, helping with a segment for the YMCA about our healthy kids day.  We got up and headed to downtown phoenix and by 6:20 we were waiting in the stations green room....
Soon it was time to head outside and prepare for the taping, the kids were super excited when the camera guy and James Quinones came out to do the interview...
The kids didn't get to say anything which was a bummer but they did get to play "bubble soccer" which they loved.  If you go to the link www.azcentral.com/videos/news/local/phoenix/2014/04/21/7959561/ 
then you can see the segment.  You can see Hunter a couple of times inside of his bubble and then can see me (in teal skinny jeans) and Emma standing next to me.
Right before they started taping Avery got knocked over by one of the older kids, she scraped up her knees pretty good and decided she'd rather sit and watch on the sidelines.  Poor Ave.
The kids loved the experience and loved seeing themselves on tv later watching it back. After the taping they gave us a tour of the studio which was really neat.
They had just stopped taping the morning show and the kids got to go inside and meet the morning anchors Emma Jade and Doug Meehan.  They got to talk with them and see the "green screen" and learn all about the different sets and things they do with taping the different parts of everyday shows.
Hunter chatting it up with Emma Jade :)
I am so glad that the kids were able to have the experience!! www.azcentral.com/videos/news/local/phoenix/2014/04/21/7959561/
