Once we got on the bus it was a short ride to the site, but, as our luck would have it, as we were in line behind another bus waiting for it to unload, we heard the familiar chant, "Move that bus!" So we missed the unveiling by just a few minutes. But, it wouldn't have mattered. The only place the crowd was allowed was at the back of the house. The people in front with the family were all blue-shirt volunteers and workers.
So we milled around with the other spectators for a while then we see Ed from the TV show come around the side of the house, then the rest of the cast (Eduardo, Michael and Paige). They signed autographs for a while during the family's tour of the house.
They loaded a few people in the fort/castle they built for the kids and brought the family outside. The audience was asked to be quiet, but there were a few 15 year old girls that yelled out "Ty!" every now and then. After they did the outside for a few, the family went back in. At that point, we decided to leave. A line had already formed for the busses, so we walked back to the parking lot, just over a 30 minute walk.
