Laurel Riverfront Park


As we've spent most of today in the house (we are going out to some friends after dinner, though) I took Alex and Olivia out for a walk along the riverfront in Laurel (the Patuxent River) to get rid of some excess energy. It's not a long walk, but it was nice- not too hot and it meant that Alex especially had something to do.


This is part of an old dam, from back in the days when there was lots of industry along the river here (mills).


Here's the dam wall from below - I do love old stone walls and other constructions.


Lots of good trees and plants to see - we liked this vine especially. 



And this very big old tree. 


There was also a small playground, so the kids had a little time playing on it. 


This was by someone's house on the path back up to the road. Sweet!
