Christmas With Uncle Ben


The Weinberg Three were most fortunate to spend Christmas 2009 with Uncle Ben, who visited SC all the way from England!  As the super uncle that he is, Uncle Ben spoiled the kids with surprise treats and books and special time his whole visit. 


We will never forget our Christmas Eve hike in Harbison State Park with Uncle Ben.  What started out to be a short hour or so hike turned out to be about a four hour hike, as a very uncharacteristically clueless Mommy misread the trail map and sent us about 3.5 miles out of our way.  No worries, we made it to the car by dusk and substituted a yummy dinner at our local Chinese restaurant, Sun Ming, for a home cooked meal (we made up for that the next day with non-stop, homecooked food).  Uncle Ben was a particularly good sport about playing Jedi Knights with the boys in the woods (read fighting with sticks, a.k.a., light sabers).


Christmas Day brought heavy rains and a flooded street.  More outdoor stomping crazy fun!
