Sunday, April 28, 2013
 

Friday was a relaxing day around our campsite as rain was supposed to arrive for Saturday and today.  Ton got in some kayaking in the morning, and then we rode bikes around the area and took a trail through the woods.

 
 
We saw a lot of wildfires and went to an old bridge over the creek.  The bridge is
closed as it’s not safe anymore.   Another beautiful day.

 
Saturday, we went to the Old Historic Town of Prattville outside Montgomery.  We visited the old Pratt home.  Mr. Pratt was the founder of the town and the house is from the late 1800’s.


This is the wedding attire for Mrs. Pratt.  The white dress on the right is the day after dress and the purple dress is the wedding dress.  Every road was dust and dirt back then, so the brides wore deep colors for the ceremony so it didn’t show all the dirt.

 The Prattville Dam in the middle of downtown
 Taking a break - I was getting tired.
  
It never rained on Saturday and spit showers today.  We spent today riding
bikes, reading books and exploring the campground.   We leave here in the morning.
