So I will answer the questions on everyone's mind first: we did NOT see Harrison Ford, much to the disappointment of 4 teen/tween girls. We DID have a great time and a very full day.
We got a really late start from Island Park. Everyone was so tired from our long day in Yellowstone the day before. We left the house around 10 am. Our first stop was Bubba's BBQ in Jackson. They had one of the best salad bars I have ever had as well as yummy BBQ and delicious chocolate chip cookies. From there the 3 families split up as we wanted to see a different part of the park. The kids were also interested in earning their 10th Junior Ranger badge so we needed to attend a program for that.
We left Grand Tetons around 5 pm to head for dinner and the Jackson Hole Playhouse production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. We ate at Mile High Pizza Pie...yummy! We were only about a block from the playhouse but Lauren was so excited that we had to go really early.
Of course when you attend a play with 18 people in matching shirts and you are sitting in the front row, you are bound to become a part of the pre show! Barry was drug out to dance with one of the characters and then given a huge kiss on the cheek, complete with a lipstick stain on his cheek! Then they interviewed Lauren. When asked which character "brother" was the cutesy (they were all lined up) she hammed it up and said, "they're all pretty good looking"!
The show was amazing and it only fueled Lauren's desire to be an actress. We had a great time. Being on the front row definitely made us part of the show. Several times the actors fell into our seats during fight scenes. During the dance social scene one of the "brides" asked Elijah if he had ever been here before. He said "no" and she asked him to dance. She acted all disappointed when he sank down in his seat, embarrassed. It was pretty funny.
It was almost 1 a.m. when we got home. It was a full day but worth it!
