Last week, while we were in Medora, ND., we were able to earn Jr. Ranger badges at this beautiful park. We have been reading a really interesting biography,
Bully for You, Teddy Roosevelt!, by Jean Fritz.
Teddy was known for a lot of things; of which, was the saying, "Bully!" It just means, very simply, GREAT!
At the National Park, they have a great set up with a video, museum and outside is THE AUTHENTIC log home that belonged to Teddy when he lived in Medora.
Here is a horse and "Teddy" made completely out of small wood pieces. The body is dressed in Roosevelt's clothes. I can not imagine how long it took someone to build this beautiful tribute!
This is his log home! Too cool.
Inside, were some originals, and other pieces of the time period. They have done a beautiful job preserving everything, especially recently with all the flooding, they had to build dikes around the property.
This is Roosevelt's writing desk. :)
Here is his travel trunk. :)
One of the rangers gave a nice talk as she guided us through out the house.
YEAH! Golden Gang! Another Jr. Ranger badge! :)
Blessings,
Steph
