"It's All My Friends!"

My Friends from Sesame Street!

So while both the boys really enjoyed seeing all their favorite Sesame Street characters, Matthew only wanted to see them from a distance (note his death grip on us in the pictures). Ben was a different story. By the end of the 2 days we were there, diving catches from Shawn were required to keep him from cutting in line while running to give Cookie Monster and Ernie hugs.

Mom, according to this map...

...the 400 ft. Elmo is right *here*!

Vacation - Part One of Many...

We started vacation by visiting friends - Lisa, Wes, and Gabriel - and had a great time seeing them and catching up. They had a pool by their house that we all went swimming in on Sunday.
