BIG SAM

You can bet that everytime we travel south, just as we leave Huntsville, Lucas will proclaim " There's BIG Sam!" as we pass the colassal statue of General Sam Houston that joins in with the pine trees that tower over I-45... And, when we are on the way home, coming back into Huntsville, he always says, "Thers BIG Sam, we're almost to Huntsville!"  We have talked all about Big Sam and what it means and who he was, but never once had we stopped by to visit the statue. Not until this weekend, that is. Lucas loved it. He couldn't believe how BIG the BIG Sam really is! (And, you can tell just how BIG he really is in the pictures of Lucas standing at his feet!)

It was a fun little (FREE) outing! We all had a great time and got a little history lesson too.
