More of the San Antonio Riverwalk Vacation Day

The girls first trip to the Alamo...they think 30 years is old...so they really didn't get it, but thought it was a pretty "building".


Don't we look like tourists here. All we need are hats and cameras. By the way, Kaytlynn wore those sunglasses most of the trip...even when indoors, she would pull them up on her head to use them as a headband. She thinks she is so big!












Do you see the boat? They intentionally made this building to look like a ship...sailing ahead. I'm not a big fan of architecture, but I thought this was really cool.



See the Gargoyles...kind of unusual for Texas buildings...


More ugly faces on the building...They were all put on this magnificent building to keep away bad spirits, negative energy, etc. The building cost a ton of money. They opened something like the day before the market crashed during the great depression. Isn't life ironic...and doesn't God have some rough lessons to teach us that we aren't in control of anything!




The boat tour was fun for the kids for about the first 5 minutes. The rest of the 45 minutes, they were hot and hungry!



The outdoor theater. Todd and I came here for 2 days after we got married. They were getting ready for a live nativity. I spotted a goat on the stairs and went to pet it. When I was about a foot away...the goat leaped away faster than a rabbit. Literally. Have you ever seen a goat leap and dart away? Come to find out, it wasn't a goat, it was a small reindeer...and they weren't very happy with me, because a reindeer was now on the loose in San Antonio...I wanted to look at everyone naively and say...Did I do that?



Stopping for a snack! They really did just enjoy hanging out.
