Blue Lake Park

Saturday was a beautiful day here in the Portland/Vancouver area, so we decided to go for a bike ride to Blue Lake Park. We started on Marine Drive along the Columbia River, we rode West along the bike path for a few miles and ended up at the park. I knew it was there, there is a Wakeboarding championship there every Summer, but we had never actually gone there. It was pretty cool (except for the unsafe water due to another algae bloom... what is up with the water around here?) Anywho, there were snack bars, 4 playgrounds, a closed off beach and hardly any people. It was a little eerie because it felt a bit like the abandoned amusement park that you would always see on a Scooby-Doo cartoon, but we had a great time while we were there. We will probably plan on spending more time there next time.

Here Jill looks into the water at some small minnows.
I like this duck because the sun was really making his green feathers shimmer.
