Nice big beavers too...ANd finally, I would have loved to have a trapper to tag along with when I was his age as well. Kudos to the both of you for making that special connection. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

His mom said absolutely and he comes with whenever he can. His family has adopted me as their grandfather. That is awesome!
