New Day

There's something exciting about being on TV! Natalie got the most camera time but we all had fun being in the studio audience during a taping of a local talk show called New Day. This fun outing was planned by Alyssa's Activity Day leader and Natalie I got to tag along.

There was a group of people in the audience promoting the Renaissance Fair and Nat ended up sitting right next to one of these interesting characters.

We took pictures on the set after the taping and the host even posed with the group.

Two former NBA stars (and Seattle Supersonics), Spencer Haywood and James Donaldson, were some of the guests on the show.  Holy moly they were tall!

One of the most exciting parts of the taping were all the freebies that the audience members were given.  Because there was a candy segment featuring a Jelly Belly representative, we each got an awesome Jelly Belly gift bag.  We also got a new smart phone accessory and some tickets to a local comedy show.

Look at all this fun stuff!

We ate lunch by the Seattle Center fountain before heading home. 

We had recorded the show and had fun watching for ourselves in the audience.  Also, right at the end of the show, the host recognized groups in the audience which included those Renaissance folks, Estelle's 70th birthday party, and the "Activity Day girls from the Mormon church in Auburn."

So, we were TV stars for a day.  Not really, but it's fun to imagine it.  What a fun outing!
