The Green Grass Experience

Today our group helped out with the little kids’ camp in the morning
and Joel, Seth, Adrienne, and I took the kids on a walk to the rodeo
grounds again. When we got there some kids saw that the some horses
were very close to the fence and wanted to go pet them. They were all
excited about it and even fed them some grass. Later on in the
evening, around four-thirty, we all packed up into cars and drove out
to Greengrass. Along the way we saw some buffalo with their calves.
They were really big, and scary-intimidating. I mean, this wasn’t your
average Grant farm trip, this was right there in front of you. It was
amazing, at least for a few seconds anyway. The church we went to in
Greengrass was small. VERY small. Not a lot of people came to eat with
us too. Randy came with us, and a few more people met us up there. One
was a woman, Shirley Fiddler, who talked all about their history and
even sang us some Lakota hymns. It was a very interesting night and I
loved hearing about the chiefs and what had happened back then.
Tomorrow is the Art and Heritage Festival and we are all very excited
about that. We thank God that we will be able to see and hear all
about their culture and learn more about them.
