Day 5.138: The lake with a hole

We had our first visit to Six Mile Park in Albany today - also known as Six Mile Waterworks. We went to have a short walk around the reservoir there - the grandly named Rensselaer Lake, to eat a picnic and to let the kids play on the playground. Score three to us!

I think we may have been the only people at the lake without fishing gear, but we had enough to entertain us - other people fishing, some fish, a cedar waxwing, elderflower and a great big hole in the lake.

After an early-lunch picnic, the kids did indeed play on the playground for a while before E5N1 switched his allegiance to this big rock - soon it became the play-item of choice for all!

All in all a very nice (brief) visit -

then we retreated home to avoid the heat of the day.
