Lo-Green Acres: Medora Camping Trip

We went to Medora for the weekend. We left on Friday after Farmers Market and came home on Sunday. It was a lot of fun! We spent time walking around town. John and Olue played at two playgrounds. We drove through the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We even went out to eat a few times. It was a great weekend and we plan to go back to Medora every year. We hope to go to the musical next year (when the kids are older).

Lu playing in the dirt at the camp site. The badlands have dusty/sandy dirt (not much for topsoil). There isn't much for green grass out there!

Christine, John, Olue, and Cedar at the campground with the Little Missouri behind us and a large bluff rising on the other side of the river.

Josh & Lu....Olue got really into the dirt. She landed face first and got a mouthful. She started to cry, but the tears dried fast as Daddy picked her up and wiped her clean.

Lu loves Cedar

I think the fire looks really cool here.

Lu liked the swings too.

Mommy & Johnny...The playground was one of his favorites, the other was the Prairie Dog Town.

Bison herd...We had to wait while they crossed the road. It was pretty cool seeing them that close up. They are very big!

John & the Prairie Dogs. We had about 30 minutes to sit at the Prairie Dog town in the Park before we had to head home on Sunday. John loved watching these cute little dogs.
