The Price is Right Live!
Hello friends,
As part of our Christmas presents this year, Andrew’s parents got us tickets to see the traveling show The Price is Right Live. The show was last weekend, so we spent the whole weekend with them. It was so much fun!
We went down Friday after work. I had some time to catch up with Kathy and Greg a bit before Andrew got there since I work an hour closer to them than our home is. They made a delicious dinner for us to share- vegetarian sloppy joes, Mac and cheese, and coleslaw. We watched some of the television show of the Price is Right to help us get pumped for Saturday.
Saturday we had breakfast together and I took a nap before we went to see the show. We got to the casino that hosts the Price is Right Live early so we could register to try and be contestants. The registration process was pretty easy and we got our name tags just like on TV!
We had some extra time before the show started so we went to play penny slots— okay so Andrew and his dad weren’t exactly into this idea but his mom wanted to play and I joined her. To be honest, I didn’t expect to gamble with my mother in law ever (we aren’t big gamblers or casino people) but we had a lot of fun playing the penny slots next to each other! Kathy even got Andrew to try his hand at penny slots. Overall we both came out ahead too 😊
After penny slots we made our way into the theater a bit early. They had throw back video clips and fun The Price is Right trivia questions going until the show started. We also got popcorn as a nice snack. Here we are after our snack waiting for the show to start!
The host was funny and they plaid 4 games and had a showcase! One of the games was the much loved Plinko. While none of us got chosen as contestants, we had amazing seats and had a lot of fun watching and helping yell prices!
After the show, we returned to Andrew’s parents house. Andrew’s brother (Brian) and his wife (JoNette) joined us for the evening. We all caught up and had takeout Chinese food-delicious! Andrew’s parents then shared their great news— they are retiring the beginning of April! They are excited and we are excited for them. They’ve offered to come help us with things and spend more time at our house. We can’t wait to have more time together! (Plus if they are retired they’ll be ready to come spoil our future child a lot more.)
What fun things have you guys been up to lately?
Natalie
