The Alamo 2010

We had a great time visiting the Alamo. The boys loved running around and looking at the cactus, the cannons, Bowie knives, short-stock single barreled muskets and all things "boy". We visited the "Six Flags" monument of the Alamo - which gives the name to the Six Flags amusement park. Jackson really liked looking at all the old copper and tin keys that opened all the doors throughout the compound. We treated the boys with a couple of Texas Ranger badges at the end of our visit.

Jackson inspecting the cannons. At one point Jackson was at one end and Charlie at the other and they were yelling into the cannon. Hilarious.


We got the whole family in the picture, however, the top of the Alamo was cut off.




Jackson, mommy and Charlie at the Alamo.



Jackson and Charlie had so much fun running up and down a side corridor that connected the Alamo to the main garden.





Texas is a proud State -- you see the Texas Star on just about everything.







Jackson appeard to be more impressed with the cactus than the Alamo!



Charlie with his Davy Crockett hat on. Too cute!
