JT visits the Alamos

JT crosses the line

I had this odd, fun conversation with John-Thomas while we were at the Alamo yesterday. We were wandering through the chapel, looking at the engraved names of the men who died there when JT said:

"When are we going to see Elmo?" [here is emo Elmo at the Alamo]

I explained the difference between the letters E and A and that we were at the Alamo. I explained it 2-3 times because he was quite insistent that we were going to see the Alamo, and he wanted to meet Mr. Alamo.

Mr. Alamo?

The Alamos at home

It was Joy who finally decoded the mystery. Typically when we take a long drive, it is to see a family: the Petersons, the Watsons, the Lazenbys ... the Alamo. Makes sense. Where is Alamo and when can we see him?

I was then able to help him figure out that the Alamo is like the Temple - we don't go to the temple to see Mr. Temple, right? Right. Okay. Then he was cool with it, if a bit disappointed. The people we go to see are a lot more fun than the buildings we go to see.
