On Thursday we drove to San Antonio to visit the Alamo, and the famous Riverwalk.
The Alamo was the biggest reason that Robin wanted to come to Texas. She loves history, and was so excited to see it and show her boys.
When we got to San Antonio, we went to the Imax theater to watch a movie about the Alamo so that all the kids could understand exactly what it was all about. Not one to really enjoy History much, I was very shocked at how good and interesting the movie was.
After the Imax, we headed across the street to the Alamo. We walked around the grounds and visited a small museum of artifacts from that time period. After seeing what we thought to be everything, we were on our way...................
We walked on the riverwalk, took a boat ride, had lunch, shopped, and then drove back to Austin. It was then that Robin decided to pull out the pamplet on the Alamo. Upon studying the information, Robin gasps (loudly I might add, almost causing me to crash the car), she has just realized that we drove seventeen hours to visit the Alamo, the biggest "field trip" her boys have ever been on, and we didn't actually go INSIDE the Alamo!! LOL!LOL!LOL! Apparently we only walked the grounds AROUND the Alamo, never actually entering the one building that is still in it's original state, the church! (uh, huh, the picture above.......well, we got a picture of it though!!) ..........OOPS!
Carter sporting his souvenirs from the Alamo....
Can you say FEAR FACTOR?
Uh huh, that's a PINK gun that Ava decided she needed, to feel included!!
I absolutely LOVE the Riverwalk!
And that was a wrap! I just love the gun in hand! ha!
You just never know when you are going to have to defend yourself from the boys - a girl can never be too careful - she definitely needed the pink gun.
You are a really good photographer!
I'm with BethAnne--your photography is awesome. When can I get you to take some pics of my kids? ;-)
We are so going to San Antonio for our next family vacation!! I have really enjoyed following you on your trip. BTW. I gave you an award over at my place today!!
A daughter that can sleep with a gun in her hand, the dream of all dads!
the pics are gorgeous... and every cowgirl MUST have a pink gun!
OMG! Ava and the gun is unbelievable! honestly, you need to enter that in a contest...or something!..........oh my goodness.......i am so proud to be a NeeNee to a pink gun carrying kinda gal! :)
Adorable!! You really are a gifted photographer. I love the pics in the tunnel and of course the one of Ava sleeping with her gun. Too funny.
woah--you captured so many amazing shots! nicely done!!
I've never been to the Alamo, but it looks awesome. I'm with everyone else, you are a great photographer. What camera and photo software do you use?
Thank you for the comments on my photography, I would love to take all the credit, and say that I do it all myself......but alas, my computer has a good photo shop software, and I also use online help like shutterfly, and photobucket.
The camera that I am currently using is just the Nikon coolpix......However, I SOOO want the D80, but that will have to wait.ha!
Anyways, I LOVE photography, and just messing around with it......maybe someday I will do more with it!
Thanx again!
