After Zion N.P. we stopped for lunch on the way to the Grand Canyon. The tour guide had a surprise for us, which wasn't in the brochure. She organised a pioneers' lunch and a part in a movie for all 50 of us.
We were in the western town of Kanab, which is famous for being the place where many Western Movies were made back in the 50's and 60's. John Wayne, James Stewart, Alan Ladd and many others spent much time here while filming.
The owners of the restaurant took us out the back, gave us costumes and a role to play in a Western. Bill and I were the pioneer family. We all felt silly but it was funny.

This was our whole tour group that made up the cast of the pretend movie. Bill and I are at far right.
LOL! What good sports you were. I'm not sure I'd have done it. :)

ReplyDeleteSo funny, I enjoyed the movie very much.
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely to watch our videos of the USA trips, you bring back so many memories. I think you should always wash this way, it suits you very well ! (but without an armed Bill besides you, lol )
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I love the part where the Indians forgot their horses.

Only in America! But such are wonderful memories made. Good fun!
ReplyDeleteIt gave you a chance to stand and run and stretch your legs a little bit before you had to climb back on the bus! You look great in a red bonnet, btw.

ReplyDeleteThat was about the funniest thing I have seen in a long time! A motley looking band of Indians.....but the horses were cute! You must have had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! now you're movie stars and I thought that guy shot you - I think you done a great job at washing on the scrubbing board and the kiss from Bill was the loveliest part of the movie Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteI loved it!
What a lovely adventure. Photos are good.
ReplyDeleteYou make a very stylish washerwoman.
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant - you both look quite film star-ish!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! We stayed in Kanab on our trip, but we never had the chance to be in a movie.
ReplyDeleteI think you and Bill had the best parts, right in center stage!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the video Diane - you all were terrific sports!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, We stayed in Kanab --and had no idea this area was there. Guess we didn't drive far enough into Kanab. We were at the Holiday Inn Express --and went in and out toward the north...
ReplyDeleteNext time we go to Kanab, I'll check out that place. Looks like loads of fun!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
A bit of silliness in the name of fun is good for the soul! You played your parts well :)
ReplyDeleteYou were good sports. (My Bill would have jumped the bus at that point.)
