Saturday, May 27, we rode to Point Mallard to the Hot Air Balloon Festival. We didn't see any balloons but saw lots of tractors, food vendors, and vendors. It was cool this morning, and it rained a little, but it sure warmed up fast. We talked to a man from Cullman there enjoying the festival. The festival sure was spread out, so lots of walking. We missed the car show.

We rode to Hartselle for lunch at O'Bryan's.

After lunch, we rode back to Decatur, where they were having a scavenger hunt for 10 very small turtles located along Second Avenue.

Hubby parked the car but stayed inside while I searched for the turtles.

I Met a group of six also doing the scavenger hunt and asked if I could join them.

Our group had so much fun searching for the turtles and then taking turns getting our picture taken with the tiny turtles. 

We needed a few items from Rural King in Muscle Shoals, so we took Highway 20 to hwy 72 into Muscle Shoals.

Our first stop was to get a vanilla Ice cream in a cone at Jack's.

At Rural King, we bought cat food, bird seeds, Sure-Jell, a Top, and a hose nozzle.

We rode to the Rock Pile with lots of people there, so no birds.
