It has been our tradition the last few years to do a day trip during Christmas break. On Friday we had great weather so we drove to San Antonio to "Remember the Alamo." Jacob & Zach have both had Texas state history since the last time we came, so we though they would enjoy it. Landon, however, did not think it was great to stand in front of glass cases looking at old things. After just a couple of minutes in the annex nearby he started throwing a horrible tantrum. So Dallin took the older kids inside the Alamo while I stayed outside to calm Landon down. Luckily the weather was nice so it wasn't too bad.
The six flags of Texas - all of the different countries that have "owned" Texas. This is where the theme park "Six Flags" gets its name.
We were lucky to get there just before the huge crowds started and they only had to wait a few minutes to go inside. By the time we left there was probably a 45 minute wait.
In front of the Texas tree. There were so many orange shirts everywhere because Saturday was the Alamo Bowl, and the University of Texas played Oregon State (which are both orange schools).
After having lunch at McDonald's we took a boat ride on the Riverwalk. The last time we came and walked and walked and walked the kids wanted to go on the boats, but we didn't. They all loved the boat, especially Landon.

That's so cool that you can post video of your boat ride! Cool Texas-sized Christmas tree, too. But my favorite is the little pouty-face in front of the Alamo.
