We ate at the Rainforest Cafe (like true tourists) and went on a boat ride down the river, learning about some of the buildings and history. They have a historical committee, and the tour guide told us that Marriott (I think it was Marriott) wanted to build a hotel and tear down an old one, and they wouldn't let them, so they MOVED the building and built a new one in it's place. The old hotel is still running somewhere downtown. I didn't pay that great attention to details, sorry.
We didn't get to learn that much about the Alamo, the kids would never have let that happen, but it was still cool to see. Much smaller than I thought it was going to be.
Here are some pictures:
Beautiful, I'm telling you.
Colby and Eva got creative at lunch. On the far left you can see Eva doing the same thing as Colby. She is copying everything he does lately.
It was so hot, I felt so bad for the kids. And none of them got sunburned, yay!
Eva became best friends with the girl she was sitting by. She kept putting her hand on her leg, and when the girl was looking at her cell phone she would lean over and look at it with her. It was so sweet. She's never really taken to a stranger like that before.

FUN!! We have to go there when I come to San Antonio!! I love the Rainforest Cafe, we at there once in Minneapolis. I also really want to see the Alamo! I can't imagine how hot it is, the kids look so hot in those pics!! I has been in the 70's and 80's here the last couple of weeks, it has been so nice!
That's exactly what Spencer said about the Alamo (being small)... more power to you for taking the kids out to see the sites!
Eva looks so incredibly HOT in the last picture. I just can't imagine. The whole pick up your toy thing is pretty much a loosing battle. Mia, who for anyone else would pick up in 2 seconds, has to be reminded over and over again. Jack will if he has some incentive. If they want to watch a movie or TV I do make them pick up some things and that keeps the clutter down a bit. You have to always remind them and help them. Good luck!
