Yesterday something came up on my FaceBook Memories.
It was photos from the early 1980's. Dave and I and our boys went to the TV show, Let's Make a Deal with Monte Hall.
We were picked to be on the show. Dave and I had scrounged some things to wear as costumes. We had been at Disneyland and bought things from Pirates of the Carribean in hopes of getting on the show.
We made it through to the final round of picking a door for the prize behind it, and we really needed a car. It turned out the the top prize was a floor length white mink coat plus other things. I would have looked like a fat polar bear in it and never would have worn it anyway!
We did win the 2nd best prize, which was an all expense paid trip to Cancun, Mexico, luggage, a fancy pen set, and cash. My boys were so excited. They thought they were going to Cancun too. Sadly it was only for 2.
Dave and I had never even heard of Cancun. The resorts were in the very early stages of development. It really was a fun trip but I wish our kids could have been there too.

all of these photos were taken from our friends television. She was just cruising through the channels to find something to watch and was shocked to see us on the screen. So thankful she was able to take these shots so we have the memories from so many years ago.
There is a small video that's some where in my files. If I can find it I will add it to this post.
Since I have quite a few new blogger friends now I thought you might enjoy seeing something from our past.

That is a fabulous story - you're famous! That was sooooooooooo cool!
Have you checked to see if you can find that episode of the show on YouTube? I watch lots of old tv shows that way.
Sorry. The last comment from Stan in South Carolina.
That is so cool!
This is sooo neat!! How fun for y'all. I would have been so shy, so scared and probably would not have been able to say a word. I can't wait to tell my husband...he watches the show everyday. Woo Hoo!!
How exciting!!! Wow! I loved that show! How wonderful that you made it that far and won the trip! Too bad the kids couldn't go too, but hey, sometimes parents just need to get away!! Love the pictures!! You are famous!!
