Hang Time with Uncle Ben

Over Spring Break we made a playdate with Uncle Ben. We met at the Farmer's Market in Austin. We figured that it would be fun to hang with Uncle Ben as he examined food...one of his favorite things to do. He did, in fact, have lots of good tips for us about what to buy and what not to buy. He even got J to try some interesting things. That child will eat just about anything...especially if Uncle Ben recommends it. Why does that not hold true at our own dinner table?


This picture is pretty typical of our boys these days. K is always grumpy for a picture. J is ever happy, and Mighty is questionable.


Uncle Ben teaches us about green garlic.

After the Farmer's Market, we decided to go to Phil's Ice House for dinner and playtime. The food is always pretty good, and the ice cream is amazing. The boys played outdoor shuffle board with Uncle Ben and Daddy. The play area wasn't as big of a hit with them as it has been in the past. Unfortunately, Mighty decided to literally hit two strangers while we were there. You would think after the first time out in a place like this that he might learn a lesson. Not our stubborn little friend! The second hit was delivered to an 11 year old boy. On that note, we left.
