Beaver Dams

In preparation for Philip, his brother (Uncle Peter), Emma and Peter's camping trip coming up on Wednesday of this week Philip took the kids on a really long hike. They started off in the woods behind the church and followed a creek along to a road that I eventually picked them up on when I received their call. They were out for about 2 hours hiking and exploring. They found 3 beaver dams and about an acre of woods that had been demolished by beavers. It's still hard for us to believe that we are living in a place where their is so much wildlife surrounding us.

The campers will be leaving from Charlotte Wednesday morning and heading to Boone for three days and two nights. While talking to Philip recently about the trip he said, "What's the worst that can happen? We end up having to get a hotel room." I am truly married to an optimist. I am thankful that Uncle Peter is an army man with extensive training for this kid of adventure. Uncle Peter doesn't have kids so that also makes him a bit more "sensitive" to what they are can handle.
