shuttle and go to the main convention
center and check out what's going on

here as like a bunch of happy excited
screaming we're gonna check out some
lounges we're gonna have some fun I
think we're gonna take some pictures
real quick Jessica's setting us up
this sound is music to my ears music you

what do you think Bailey pretty good
okay we're about to do one of my
favorite things
at VidCon which is where they they shut
down the floor
so we're in the Expo like hall right now
they shut it down and they let the
people that are kind of like staying at
the the hotel area come and hang out and
experience everything on the floor it's
really cool it's great because we get to
watch our kids like play and like enjoy
all the different booths and meet with
other creators it's really fun so that's
what we're gonna do right now
[Music]

I'm gonna grab another one
[Music]
it was good yeah
it's funny because we like did the
countdown I was like I don't know if I
should do it and then they did the
counter and I just kind of jumped off
and I was like I didn't really think
about it so I was doing it so yeah
like my body went first before I
actually like thought about it I got
this snake
squishmallow with a tiny tail I don't
know why I chose this one but it just
it's green so I loved it it was so nice
it was so squishy it was so soft I loved
it so much and what I got is this it's
actually a chinchilla but I call it my
red chinchilla so yeah and then I got
this unicorn which I think is soap
loving and so cute how was it it was
great I got this
and this
very cool what I feel like to jump it
was
fun
I'm just kidding it was super fun
this Antelope and a hedgehog and also I
got this afterwards

it is day four
and yeah we just woke up we're getting
ready for the day I kind of wanted to
show you a little bit about like getting
ready for the day but something happened
last night that's kind of funny right
Bailey is it funny it's very fun okay
it's very funny Bailey has been having
so much fun with the tattoo artist uh
she got this character that I keep
forgetting the name of that's Ford Ford
handsome Squidward
which is my personal favorite
Dipper and you can see Dipper kind of
smudged a little bit and if you put any
other part of your body on top of one of
these at night
it makes a print
and that is what happened with Bailey
because she slept like
that I guess and she's calling this one
paper jammed paper jam Dipper because I
guess that's a character in the show as
well it's a clone
problem is
last night
handsome Squidward
decided to cuddle up with Bailey's face
and now she's got some Squidward she's a
little extra handsome today
have you been having fun at VidCon yes I
have my feet hurt though there's a lot
of walking a lot of walking so our
room's kind of messy right now but I
wanted to show you how we've been
organizing our outfits because it's
we've been color coordinated and like
really trying to like
look like a cohesive thing so this is a
is actually a green screen rack you can
see it's like
photography stands with a green screen
rack and I brought that because it packs
up really small but we can hang our
clothes up here and organize them and uh
like steam them and de-wrinkle them and
have them ready for the next day so
Jessica planned out all of the outfits
that we were going to be wearing put
them up next to each other took pictures
of all of us in our outfits and then I
went through overnight and opened up the
the photos and looked at the outfits
that we were going to be wearing for
that day set them up and steam them and
it's been working really really nicely
for this this event and so many people
have commented on our outfits and how
they like that we were all coordinated
and stuff we're not matchy-matchy but
we're like coordinated we're like a
cohesive thing I think Jessica did a
really great job of that and uh and it's
been really fun so today's our last day
with coordinated outfits and we're gonna
go out and hopefully learn some new
things from from people in the industry
and
um and hang out with our friends and go
play in some of the lounges so let's
let's get started what's our first stop
for today we're at the cafe cafe I'm
holding a cat and it's just kind of
chilling and I want it
you can adopt the cats here Dad
so we're at the point of the event where
they start taking everything down and uh
closing down all the lounges this is the
Instagram lounge or was the Instagram
Lounge when we when we were here last
time and they're tearing everything down
now and so much work must go into the
designing of these things and the
setting up of these things and we're
seeing the work that they're doing to
tear it all down right now and take it
out and put the hotel back the way that
it was and it is it's wild how much work
goes into these things for us to to
experience them for like four days and
um I don't know I just really appreciate
it it's really cool
