Ben and the Beavers

Ben and the Beavers... that sounds like a new music group! But it's not. Although B is quite musical :) Instead this post is about one of the very cool outdoor adventures Grandpa and Grandma have taken us on. Near their very cool woodsy lakeside home, there was a beaver who built a dam and built his house before he was discovered and gently relocated to a deeper part of the forest where he would be safer. But he left some cool things behind, including lots of chewed on trees the neighborhood association had to cut down so they wouldn't' eventually fall. Here's one of our many trips to explore the beaver's territory.

Ben leads us on the hike.

Here they are pointing to his house.

Ben decides he could build his own dam.

Posing with my big boy by some of the trees they had to cut down because the beaver had chewed them almost all the way through!

Ben wanted us to pretend to be chewing on the wood like the beaver did. He's getting pretty serious about setting up a good picture :)
