Our Trip Today
Well dear reader(s),
we found it! The home of the beavers. Here is their dam, tucked away in the quiet woods and marshes of Wawanash. They really did pick a lovely "waterfront" property. Walking through the woods we spotted the "sub-trail" that we were told about, followed it into the marshy land (now frozen mostly solid) and soon came upon something i have never seen before. Masses of trees were felled along the edges of the lake, at least fifty of them. All gnawed down by a beaver. amazing really. Dave pushed on through the trees, marshland and reeds, Julia and Sam following close behind and I pulled Mercy's sled on a more clear section of the marshland (we couldn't navigate the tight spaces). Finally we spotted the dam, encircled by water.... why we do not know... is it from the beaver's swimming, so the water is always too agitated to freeze over? i do not know. Whatever the reason, there it is, in the photograph above, a beaver's home.
Time to relax to some "trail lunch". What a life eh? Being pulled along so comfy with milk in hand.... man, that would be nice!

What an adventure! A wonderful way to learn about all that God has created. Mercy looks quite content. I can't wait to see you all next month. Who knows maybe there will be some exciting adventures to take Nana and Grandpa on? Love you, Nana and Grandpa
A sequel to My Side of the Mountain is The Other Side of the Mountain. Another great book.
Cool. thanks daddio. Perhaps by the time you are visiting us we will have moved on to those books. :) And then you can take a turn reading at story time. :)
We will definitely have some adventures with you two here. :)
