The Beaver State, Part 1

Last week, Anna, Papa Marion, and I went to visit Oregon. We caught a lucky break because it was sunny and warm the whole time we were there. On this particular day we went to visit a spectacular waterfall on the slopes of Mount Doo--I mean Shasta. We found out (judging from the three feet of snow) that the state of California doesn't place a high priority on removing snow from scenic overlooks. Anna and Jonathan thought this piece of dirty snow in McCloud was plenty scenic enough, thank you.After we returned from the slopes of Mount Doo--I mean Shasta, we visited a wonderful hands-on science museum parking lot in Ashland. We then went to the much more fun hands on playground at the park. Anna was very disappointed that there were no giraffes at this park.
Anna (sobbing): "Why are there no giraffes at this park?"
Jeanette: "Because there would be nobody to take care of them"
Anna: "I will stay here and take care of them"
