Good Morning America: A Red Blur













We saw "Pirates" yesterday. (Bryce's contribution was phenominal, BTW). Just before the movie started, GMA called. Wendy, one of our BYU interns recommended Jennifer for a segment Wednesday morning. I had no idea what for. Who cares? It was chance for grandma to see her on TV.
We got up at 5:05 am, got ready and rode the subway to the 44th and Broadway studio. We had to be there at 7 am. It was for a Chris Cuomo piece on SUV safety. 10 children demonstrated how, even with a back-up camera, kids can go undetected. Jennifer was the last one in the line-up and one of the youngest. Most of the 5-8 year-olds seemed about 10. At the end of the segment, they put the car in reverse. Three moms were to move the kids, I was one of the mom's. It was typical TV: Hurry up and wait. But it was fun. Three rehersals. We were on the sidewalk, just next to where the crowd congregates in front of the windows.
This is Jennifer talking to Morgan, the producer. On the way home on the subway, I noticed my zipper was down. Typical. Good thing I wore a long sweater and I wasn't on camera. Bryce taped it for us. I have no idea if she even got any camera time. But it was another You Nork experience!

Post Script: I added A Red Blur" because that is all you saw. And grandma saw the red and didn't realize it was her. Like Mike Waczowsk from Monster's Inc after his face gets covered my the logo, "That was ME!" It doesn't matter-- we have a blog! And I shook Chris Cuomo's hand.

Derek and I got up to see Jennifer. While it is true that we didn't see much of her, it was still fun to know she was having fun! And my (oh my!), what a cute outfit!!
