My Girls & I at The Dallas Museum of Art; I miss you, Gramps

Every day, they have a special area for kids. After going through the four floors of the museum, we wound up in the kids crafts area.
There was a large wall that had squares of textures on them. Each person was granted an opportunity to write on a post it note and then attach it to the wall.
