Filmed the 2nd day of our TV show

We finished the second day filming our TV show and it was easier than the first. The day started with an awards ceremony and we made it through the first cut! Many thanks to all our friends who came to cheer for us at the ceremony. Now it's down to us and 3 other families, and one of us will go to France.

Today we fulfilled our dream of learning Chinese acrobatics. It was totally fun although I wouldn't claim we mastered a single acrobatics stunt. But we did jump and run and play all day and at one point we were stacked one on top of the other in a 4-level pyramid.

The funniest part of the day was when I saw my Chinese acrobatics costume. I didn't realize it was going to be a full-body spandex suit. Yep, I'll be in spandex in front of the whole country. I made a special request that the film crew film me only from the waist up and ankles down but I'm not sure if they were able to accommodate in all the stunts.

What fun! Can we vote over the internet??? And, wow, I might have had to bail out on the spandex suit. I hope it was a flattering color :)

Ho-ly-cow, you're brave. You've got to get us a YouTube feed or *something*! Good luck!!! :-)

Skrocki, I don't know if I'm brave or just stupid. Actually today I'm learning towards the latter. Don't know what came over me... Yes, I'll upload the broadcast to YouTube, after I edit out all the shots of me in spandex. :)

Yes Barb, you'll be able to vote over the internet! I'll post all the details as soon as they're available. Regarding the color of the suit, the only possible good color would have been "invisible" and it was not. ;)
