Today, we took a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. The kids always look forward to riding the trolley to and from the museum. The trolley we rode first was absolutely beautiful! It had stained glass and burgundy velvet seats. 
The kids enjoyed the scenery as we rode to the DMA. 
Even Katherine!
We've been studying J.M.W. Turner, and the DMA hosted a special exhibit of his works. It was amazing. We each got a little hand held "tour guide", and Olivia took this trip very seriously. She listened intently to each lecture, and wouldn't leave the room until she had read about each picture. Unfortunately, we couldn't take pictures in that exhibit hall.
These chairs are made from corrugated cardboard, and they feel like corduroy. 
Sarah is coloring on a table with lots of different textures. 
Benjamin and Aaron build a castle out of cardboard boxes. 
Katherine helps out, too. 
One of our favorite exhibits was a sculpture you could actually touch. Each column consisted of a different "every day" material. This one was made of different colors of thread slightly overlapping. The column was delicate and beautiful. 
On the way back to the van, the trolley ride didn't disappoint. Katherine was still fascinated. 
Benjamin made a new friend in the trolley conductor!

Great pictures! All the kids look so happy! It must be because they have such great parents! Looks like a fun trip.
