Like a kid in a candy store

Actually, Ben would probably tell you it was BETTER than a candy store!

On Saturday, we went to our friends' Sam and Amy's house for a cookout. There were a ton of families and kids. The fun part about Sam and Amy's is that they have a TON of really cool toys for kids (like every electric ride-on toy you could ever imagine). Well Ben hopped right on and acted like he had been driving these vehicles his entire life. We couldn't get him off -- not even when the battery died. Ella also seemed to find the whole thing very exciting. I think we will be making a trip to the toy store sometime soon...

On Sunday, Ella and I went to a bridal shower for Matt's friend from law school, Sarah. I had to post this picture because Ella looked SO CUTE for the shower.
