The Alamo & The Temple

You know those days where you're trying to get out the door and four hours later you're wondering why you haven't left yet? Today was one of those!

It reminded me of that Michael McIntyre sketch about "people with no kids don't know." (Not linked to here as it contains some swearing--you can youtube it if you wish.)

But we did finally leave, even if the clock didn't say AM! Maybe it analog--did you think of that?! I didn't think so!!!

But late departure aside, we had a pleasant day!

 Benjo's super hero pose after washing a full sink of dishes!

 Get in the car? Anyone? Anyone? Hello? Bueller?

Here we go just a-walkin' down the street singing... Eh, well, we weren't singing. This time. 

Cool models of different time periods that showed the Alamo's progression 

The iconic Alamo chapel 

Six Flags hung over Texas 

The kids favorite part: squirrels. Yes, both figuratively and literally, SQUIRREL! 

Though this guy talking about guns did capture their interest for a time 

Everything's bigger in... 

And now for the trivia... what is this a picture of?
Look closely. You may have to zoom in, but when you see it, you'll know. :-)

From the Alamo, we drove to the LDS San Antonio Temple where my wife and I took turns participating in temple work while the other stayed out with the kiddos.

 The beautiful San Antonio Temple

The awake girls touching the temple 

 Girls being a bit silly, but look at the beautiful stain glass!
This temple has multiple large, gorgeous windows.

And of course, the girls' favorite part. The fountain!
(Only perhaps because they saw now squirrels there.)
