The Dallas Museum of Art

This is Spring Break Week, and since we didn't get to go anywhere, we decided to do an "in-town vacation". On Monday we went to a movie, and on Tuesday we went to the Dallas Museum of Art and the Sixth Floor Museum. The kids were NOT looking forward to a day at the museum, but they did end up having a great time! If you recall Tuesday was the day of the torrential flooding rain that covered the entire DFW area! It was spring break and we were not sitting home, dang-it! We braved the storm and hit the museum, that had underground parking. Matthew and I challenged the girls to find their favorite piece of art in the whole museum, so they got into it! Chloe selected this sculpture in the above picture that was made out of Styrofoam! Elyza selected Waterlilies by Claude Monet! When we went to the gift shop afterward, Matthew let them each pick out a poster print of their favorite piece. There was a hitch, they had to come home and write a paragraph about the artist. Chloe groaned a bit, but they both did it! They had fun researching their artist on the internet!

We also went to the Sixth Floor Museum. It was a very interesting experience. Elyza and Chloe learned alot! Mattie was NOT cooperative by that point and just needed a nap. We got back into the car and headed home in the rain! Part of our neighborhood had been flooded and we had to detour AROUND our neighborhood to get home! All in all we did not let the rain get to us and enjoyed our spring break museum date. We will hit the Fort Worth Zoo on Friday to end our week! It has been fun so far!
