Beavers

Well, today we went to the river to see what the beavers had done (a.k.a. made dams). It wasn't very much of a drive, just 10 minutes or so, so we were there in no time. To get to the part of the river where the beavers were, we had to walk through a thicket of sticks that some beavers had gnawed on. We got to the water and saw some logs that the beavers chewed up. We didn't expect to see beavers, but then my dad spotted two! They fought for a second over who would investigate us, and then one swam off and the other swam slowly towards us. We could see the water glistening off it's thick, coarse brown fur. It got within a 10-foot range before diving under!
