Benedict Castle

Well this being Esther's first Christmas and all, we have been trying to do a lot of fun "christmasy" things. Our first Christmas outing was to Benedict Castle in Riverside. It was our first time there and it was SPECTACULAR!! It is currently home to Teen Challenge, a facility that helps teens and adults with addiction problems. Every year they decorate it and open it up to the public the Sunday after Thanksgiving. They give tours, have caroling and serve amazingly tasty cookies and hot chocolate. Esther even met a bear she liked. ~ Kin
