“I went to the beach to do a photo shoot for Voyage. We all got into makeshift costumes (since our real ones were still being made just for us in the costume shop) and headed to the beach. The flowery dress and apron I was wearing were a little more "Little House on the Prairie" than I would tend to go for standard beach attire, but it was fun to feel like my character, Emma, in costume and outside of the rehearsal room. Emma is young and she asks a lot of questions and she's not exactly sure how she came to be a part of the Noyes family, so in my outfit and in the water, I didn't have any trouble imagining her confused state (FULLY DRESSED PEOPLE + LAKE = CONFUSING). Even the life guards on South Beach were a little confused when we started taking pictures and arranging luggage in the water. The entire experience was a blast. We all really just wanted to go swimming, despite being fully clothed, especially since the water was so pleasant (which I can't really say was true during either of my other recent beach excursions). I came the closest...Nate Trinrud (Japeth) picked me up to carry me in from the water and managed to plop me down just before we made it back to the shore. OOPS! Anyway, The Noyes Family does the beach very well. Glad I got to be a part of the field trip.” – Betsy Hogg (Emma)

“The Voyage shoot was such a blast. It gave the family a chance to do some real Meisner work. We WERE that family. We found that land. But really, it was very America’s Next Top Model. We smiled with our eyes, waded through that water, and got a little dirty- all without the reality TV drama. Tyra Banks would have been proud. The highlight of the experience? When Kelley (Mottyl) tried to sit on a floating suitcase and went tumbling into the water. That girl is just as funny off stage as she is on.” – Sally Eidman (Mrs. Noyes)
