The Price is Right!

Although this happened on Jan. 2, and by now it's old news, of course I have to have it in my blog!


So here's the story behind it all: 

Waaaaaay back in September (the 10th to be exact), a group of us got together to go watch The Price is Right to try and get on the show. Actually, just my grandpa and I were trying to get on the show because it was grandparent's day at TPIR. My dad had noticed it awhile before and knew that with me and Grandpa's same names, birthdays, and extroverted personalities we would be a shoe-in. 


We were!! We were actually the first ones down and we big on the price of an iPad and iPad mini. 

Here were our bids. Grandpa and I were the last to bid, and we won!! 



Meeting Drew. 


Our game. Playing for trip for two to London. 


We got it!!!


(I did a lot of jumping that day)

Next was spinning the wheel. 

I don't have any more screenshots I can get of the video, but now I have photos from TPIR viewing party we had in Kaysville (at Duane and Kirsten's house) which was a total blast! Lots of great food and great times with great people!



So the wheel spin was great. We got an .85!! During the shout outs I got my mom, all the people who came with us, and to Ikaika Kim out in Hawaii!!


That meant we went on to the Showcase Showdown!!
