To all the fathers out there, we want to wish you a very Happy Father’s Day! Hopefully Steve enjoyed his. We set out to visit Vancouver Lake and take a walk this afternoon but we must have taken a wrong turn. We kept driving out into the more rural suburbs of Vancouver, which were lovely. We finally made it up to the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge and did the car tour. It was beautiful! It was a gorgeous day, with blue skies and mild temperatures. We saw mostly birds: many kinds of ducks, a redwing blackbird, and some other little noisy brown birds. We also saw a couple baby river otters and later an adult otter that was sure having a good time eating or bathing. We aren’t sure which. We also saw a couple large frogs swimming around. We then had a nice dinner at McGrath’s, a very nice seafood restaurant. We ended the evening with presents! Who doesn’t love presents?! I had a very nice time, and hopefully Steve did as well.
Here are a couple of pictures I took up at the Abbott family campsite that I think are appropriate for today:
Happy Father’s Day!
