On my parents last full day in Washington we made them go to the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge. We hope they’re not sorry. 
Before going into the Refuge, we stopped at this very large tree to ogle at it (which is in someone’s front yard in Ridgefield). We think it is a cedar.
In the refuge there were many muskrats, more than we had ever seen on previous trips. By the end of the drive we’d say , “there is another muskrat…” They are pretty cute, though.
This blue heron had no qualms about letting us drive right up next to him and take his picture.
In the winter, trumpeter swans will migrate through the refuge. Here they are standing on part of the frozen wetlands. They had pretty black feet and would bob their heads up and down.
On the path to the duck blind where we learned where the swans were. And Rosanne had fun examining the lichens and mosses.
Dad wanted to know if we’d see any animals on this animal tour.
And here we are back in Vancouver at the riverfront park with the I-5 bridge behind us. Mom and Dad left early the next morning. Thanks for staying with us and helping us have fun times! We love you, family!

Looks like fun. The refuge was really pretty...and yes, that tree is HUGE!!
They are not sorry. These will be savored memories for many years to come.
