the crow collection

We are so lucky in Dallas to have an amazing collection of Asian art.  The Crow Collection of Asian Art is in the heart of downtown Dallas and it offers a great selection of art from India, Japan, China and Southeast Asia. On the first Saturday of every month they have family days at the museum. Admission is free and there are always great activities for children and adults.  We have been several times and it never disappoints. This month was no exception.  On top of all of this goodness is the fact that the Nasher Sculpture Museum across the street has their free family day at the same time.  It makes for a great day!

fun at Asiafest

On Saturday we took the boys to downtown Plano for the 10th annual Asiafest. Andrew was not thrilled about going, but of course once we got there they all had a ball. We watched martial arts performances, made some fun origami, ate delicious food, and played on a fantastic playground. It didn't hurt that the weather was just about perfect!










While we were there John made it all the way across on the monkey bars for the first time!




We will definitely be returning next year!
