Day 58 #36

Today' thing is "every kid should participate in a '-thon'". So today we decided to hold a John Wayne movie marathon. We really like John Wayne we even happen to be his friend on Facebook. We started the marathon off with a documentary on John Wayne's early years. It was really interesting and we learned a lot. We already knew that John Wayne's real name is Marion Morrison and that he was born in Iowa, but we did not know that he played Football at the University of Southern California (USC). After the documentary we watched all of the movies of John Wayne that I own. We started with Stagecoach which was his first big hit movie. After which we watched Chisum, Rio Bravo, and finished it off with my favorite John Wayne McLintock. If I am being honest I am glad I don't own anymore John Wayne movies because the filming is obviously not the greatest because of the time period they came from, and I can only take so many cowboy movies. In the end the movie marathon was a success and we loved it!!!!
