I had a really fun time in Medora, ND with Grandma and Grandpa Barrus and my great Grandma Lois. Medora is a very small and pretty town in the Badlands of ND. The badlands are very pretty with all the different colors. My favorite color of the rock is the color red it looks like dust, and it looks like pizza grease when it gets on your hands. We drove though Teddy Roosevelt National Park and saw lots of prairie dogs we drove in the badlands. We also saw Teddy’s cabin that he lived in. We went to chimney park there was a chimney in a middle of a field. In the old days they would burn what they did not want to keep. We walked all around Medora and went in all the little shops. We went to the amphitheater in Medora. There we saw the Medora musical. It was really cool with all the dancing and singing. We all wanted to go back again. After it got done we all went to bed.
The next day we went to the ranch where Grandma Lois grew up. Grandma Lois was with us. She told us all the things. Like where she lived and the path where she walked to school. And all those types of things. She also told us about which grandpa built things. It was really hard to think about all that. After the going to the ranch, we went to the church her grandpa built. The church was really pretty. Grandma Lois told us all the things about it. Then we went into the parsonage. In the parsonage, she told us she went to Sunday school there when she was a little girl. Parsonage was really cool and you could see how they lived in the olden days. There was some really old books there. That daddy and me looked at. Most of the books were from late 1800’s and the early 1900’s. Some of the books were written in Norwegian and Swedish. After we saw the parsonage and the church we went up to the cemetery. We saw Grandma Lois’ mom and dad were buried. And a bunch of other people that she knew.
After that we went up to New Salem. There we saw the biggest Holstein cow ever. It was so big I could barely touch the utters. We ate dinner there. Then we went to bed.
We went to the Cowboy hall of Fame there we saw my Great Great uncle Jake Larson picture. Grandma Lois and Grandpa Becky were there also at the Cowboy hall of Fame they were saying things like do you remember this guy or this guy that guy was in the rodeo, he was really good that year.

We went to Medora Musical. Me and momma went down to the stage. Misty was in the musical. Her danced and sang and her was in a super sandwich. I loved the musical. We got cotton candy. Before the musical we had pizza.
We walked around Medora, that was the boring part. I will tell you about the cowboy cafe. First, we got caramel rolls. Then we got pancakes and french toast.
We went to the ranch we saw cows and sunflowers. Grandma Lois was born at this ranch.
We went to Sims church we saw the bell and the balcony. I liked the upstairs of the house. We saw some dresses. They were pretty. They were like baptism clothes. I liked the church.
I loved Salem Sue. It’s a cow that never returned. It’s a statue. It’s the biggest cow on earth.
I drove around with Grandpa Tim, Grandma Becky and Great Grandma Lois.
The prairie dogs build holes and then pop up. They looked cute! I wanted to take one home! The Grandma’s didn’t like the prairie dogs. We saw them at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We got another ranger book.
