Jay & Amy Turner (972) 394-8787
Let's visit Founder's Plaza at DFW Airport on Saturday, September 13th from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm or so. Come any enjoy a picnic lunch under a sky streaked with planes landing and taking off. Sitting in a nicely landscaped park, you can listen to air traffic controllers on the public address system or watch the runways through the available binoculars. If you are lucky, you might see a pilot wave from his cockpit! Bring lunch.
Directions: Follow the signs along the northbound and southbound Service Roads at DFW International Airport. They will direct you to E. Airfield Drive. Turn west onto Carbon Road (alsocalled 30th Avenue), and watch for the flags at the Plaza.

## October Family Fun

October Family Fun
CAMPERS, SAVE THE DATE! This is especially just for those who couldn't make it to the camping trip in June, or thought it was too hot. How about camping in October? I am tentatively planning a camping trip for the weekend of October 18-19th. I was thinking maybe Dinosaur Valley and Fossil Rim, which is about 2 hours away. There are neat authentic Dino tracks for the kids to see, hiking trails, a playground, and the Fossil Rim Wildlife Park is nearby as well. The weather should be cooler by then. We would plan on heading out Saturday morning and returning sometime Sunday, but you could make it a day-trip only on Saturday if you didn't want to camp out. Let me know what you think, or if you have a suggestion for another fun place to go camping.

Tuesday (the first Tuesday), September 2, 11 am
How about going somewhere cool and cultural? Let’s all meet at the DMA the first Tuesday in September and introduce our kiddos to many different kinds of art and sculpture. In addition to the traditional collections (Asian, Pacific, European Painting & Sculpture, Contemporary Art & Design, etc.) and the exhibits (Maya Textiles from Guatamala, On the Way to Chichicastenago, and Jacques Callot), they have a children’s learning area. I think that it would be great fun!
Don’t forget to bring a lunch or snacks because we can eat in the outdoor sculpture garden. (The Nasher Sculpture Garden will be opening in October but the original sculpture garden on the south side of the museum is still open.)
Art project thought: bring paper and pencil or graphite (no crayons or markers or pens – museum policy so as to protect the art) and let the kids (and maybe mom too) draw what they see.LOTS OF FUN!
Let’s meet at 11 am (that’s when they open) at the main entry at the north side of the building. Because it is the first Tuesday of the month, admission is FREE! Parking is another story (so carpooling would be a great option if you can). There are meters and lots around the DMA at varying costs and the DMA hasa parking garage – cost $5.
Directions: go south on I35. Once downtown, get onto Woodall Rodgers freeway (that’s the one that cuts through the downtown area) toward I75. Exit Field Street (the first exit) and stay in the right-hand lane (it makes a loop). Turn right onto the service road and follow it until you get to St. Paul Street and then turn right. The DMA is immediately on your left (and so is the parking garage). You can take the elevator to the main floor; let’s meet at the visitor center near the main entry.
