The next morning we got up and went to the Alamo. The girls had learned about it earlier in the school year so they were really interested in reading all the plaques, and they loved seeing all the different items in the museum. They loved seeing anything that had to do with Davy Crockett since we were staying at the Crockett Hotel.

They are sitting in a window of the Alamo. They couldn't believe how thick the walls are there.
We went to the Natural Bridges Wildlife Park next. All the girls said this was one of their favorite things we did.

Isn't this the scariest looking dinosaur bird thing ever?! It was eating out of Craig's hands.

There were so many cool animals here. Zoe is checking out some kind of really hairy camels. There was even a cute little baby camel out there running around. There were also zebras, and giraffes, and all kinds of goats and deer, there were some kind of long horn cattle there too, and the cutest little miniature donkeys.

I just love this picture! Look at how his little feet are crossed. :) He was like this most of the time, until the birds came up close.


And this is what Livee looked like every time one of the ostriches got close. She is crouched down on the floor of the car. All the girls would scream because the ostriches would just reach their heads in the car and grab at the food. Miles even accidentally hand fed one. He had some food in his little fist, and the bird just grabbed it out of his hand. He didn't cry it just shocked him. The ostriches were my favorite because it made me laugh so hard seeing the girls screaming, and laughing and freaking out every time one came near.

They also had a little petting zoo there. It was only goats but the girls had fun feeding them. Every time one got too close to Miles he would shake and push them away and hold onto me or Craig for dear life.

After the Wild Animal Park we drove around New Braunfels and found the coolest parks there. Craig and all the kids climbed across this log to sit over the water.

Miles and Paige are my little tree huggers.


We used the self timer on the camera for the first time with this picture.

We went back to Landa Park the next day to let the girls swim for a little while. They had wanted to swim while we were there the day before but we didn't have their swimsuits with us.

Can you tell how crystal clear the water is? It was so pretty. You could see all the fish swimming around, and the flowers growing underneath the water.

Miles was happy to just throw rocks in the water.

Our last stop was at the capital in Austin. We went inside and did a little tour. The girls were really impressed by how high the ceiling was inside and all the big huge staircases.

That's it for our fun little trip. I would definitely recommend it to anyone! I think we are even planning on going back in June for Craig's vacation, and maybe again in August for Zoe's birthday. The best part of the whole thing was just being together with our family and spending some good time together. I loved it!

It looks like San Antonio has lots of cool things to do and see. I like the picture of the tree coming out of the building. Is that tree really old? The springs looked pretty cool too. Thanks for posting all of your pictures.
