Kevin had to go to San Antonio for business this past week, and decided to bring back something for the boys to enjoy. Not one to indulge in knick-knacks, he gave in and got Ethan and Andrew matching Davy Crockett racoon-skin hats. Instant hit.
In a couple of years, we're sure they'll enjoy learning about Davy Crockett and the band of brave patriots who courageously fought the battle of the Alamo against the forces of General Santa Anna's invading army. Likewise, their visions of this shrine to freedom will likely be dashed, as was Kevin's, when at some point they visit the Alamo only to find it surrounded by a mall, a CVS pharmacy and, best of all, a Fuddrucker's. Perhaps, by the time they are old enough to travel on their own, Wal-Mart will actually build a Supercenter to completely encase the Alamo, so that shoppers can walk through it to go from the Mexican baked-beans aisle to the shoe department.

Oh my goodness! They are so sweet and look so big in those hats. We just love em to pieces. Grandma & Grandpa
I'm having fun pretending it's really Ethan's natural head of hair.
