An "EXTREME" field trip


After the pool today, the kids and I drove to meet Eric after work. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has been in Camden/Pennsauken this week. They are building a home just a couple of blocks from Eric's office. So we found a parking lot and met Eric and walked down to see the excitement! Although we did not see anyone "famous", it was really cool to see! It's quite a production between, construction crew, security, news crews, neighborhood on lookers and those like us, just coming for a peek! Apparently the family was featured on 20/20 with Diane Sawyer last January about living in poverty. The family is a single father with 5 boys, most of which are older, one is in college I think! The show will air sometime in November. A local ministry, Urban Promise, had a huge part in making this happen. It's an interesting story! Although we would like to make it for the "move that bus" part, there is no way I'm venturing in to that chaos! Here is a link to check out the story. http://www.urbanpromiseusa.org/get_involved/emhe.html
