The original time for the "MOVE THAT BUS!" moment to happen was 7pm today. Then the producers moved it up to 1pm since they were ahead of schedule. When I heard that the reveal would happen early, I decided to take the boys to the home site to experience the excitement.
We waited in line for 50 minutes for a bus to pick us up and take us to the house. The boys were so great! They played together and sipped on their water bottles while we sweated and waited in line.
When we got to the house at 1pm, we heard that the producers had moved the reveal back 3pm. There had to have been at least a thousand spectators plus hundreds of volunteers lining the street and crowding the neighbors' yards when we got there! The boys and I couldn't get close enough to see what was going on in the street, but we were able to see the overhead camera sweep by us a few times. The director has us yell, "Move that bus! Move that bus!" about a bazillion times so they could get enough takes on camera to edit it down later.
The last I heard, the actual reveal wouldn't happen until 4pm. The boys and I ended up leaving the home site at 2:30pm. Even though the boys drank tons of water and had a snack under a tree while we were there, we had experienced the energy...and that was good enough for us.
Here is a picture of us when we finally made it back to the car:
