The Wheel

For those of you who don't know, Charlie absolutely loves the Wheel of Fortune. He's pretty good at it too. So, when we found out that the wheel mobile was coming to our area, we jumped on the opportunity to try out for the show. A couple of fridays ago, we headed up north to the Grand Casino in Hinkley, Mn. We were hoping that Charlie would get the chance to try out. As it ended up, about 2000 other people had the same idea! Needless to say, our hopes of Charlie getting randomly selected to play a mock game on the stage kinda dwindled as we were waiting with the mob of people. He did attend one of the 1 1/2 hour long programs. They ended up calling about 30 people to the stage. Unfortunately, he was not one of them. So, our big opportunity passed, but at least we can say we tried.

Callie and I tried to kill time in the casino while we waited on Charlie. No one under the age of 18 was allowed in the auditorium which was unfortunate. But, we survived much to the help of the video arcade.






Probably the highlight of the trip was our family pic. with good ole Pat and Vanna! That's really all we have to show from our Wheel of Fortune adventure.
