nasher museum

two weeks ago we went to the nasher museum (first saturday free thing), and though i don't have a ton of pictures, i thought i'd share a little of what we liked :)


a lot of the art was (too) modern, though there were some great sculptures (i say too, cause i didn't really like a lot of it, though paul appreciated more than i did :) i also was too busy trying to keep watch on my kids to take too many pictures, i keep forgetting how much more it is with three, even when paul's there too...

the exhibit was designed with kids in mind, and afton made this mask:
(rayna had one too, but somehow it didn't make it home--oops!)


afton liked the statues outside almost as much as she LOVED the bamboo :) that's my girl!
again, the favorite of the family (as a whole) seemed to be watching the excavator at lunch...
we had a picnic across the street from the museumboth girls were getting rather heart-broken that they weren't allowed to climb on any of the statues when we ran into this fellow on the way home (not affiliated with the museum in any way), we got to climb on the thing you see in the background, and rayna was quick to shake this man's hand :)
and finally, no family outing to "downtown dallas" would be complete without the train! we love riding the DART trains into town, and the girls were excited that this time mommy came too (usually they go on "just-for-fun" rides with daddy, he has a pass for school so he -and they- ride free)
