Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge

We decided to go this Wildlife Refuge with my in-laws for their last day of their visit with us. It was a crisp cold day but we had a great time. It's truly a beautiful place even though we didn't see too many of the wildlife except for swans, squirrels, a chipmunk, a hawk and a raven but we had fun on the different trails we took. I had fun taking the nature photos above and also those below. The Refuge is definitely a place that we will visit again and become a family favorite.
Trekking on Blackhorse Lake Trail with Papa and Nana. It's very CHILLY!
Nate and Blake were searching for a glimpse of wildlife but none that we can see. Watch out guys, there Papa hiding in the reeds.
HAAAAA! But they weren't scared a bit.
On his way to catch a Cattail.And Papa was nice and got one for Nate and the others kids.Admiring the Lake but my opinion Blake is looking for some fish.
On Keeple Lake Overlook trail we saw some swans and had to get a photo of the kids with their grandparents.Mya is Nana's "Little Sunshine"

Had to get of photo with me in this adventure.
My favorite photo of all is this one! It's PERFECT!

So, if you're heading our way, make sure you stop at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. You won't regret it!
