Timmins

Our vacation was great, filled to the brim with activity. We spent our first few days in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. This was where Ben grew up and where a lot of his family still live. I finally got to meet so many of Ben's cousins and Aunts/Uncles that I'd never met before, but had heard so much about. I love Ben's family, by the way, they are all so warm, fun and instant friends.

Here's a little look down memory lane.
Ben viewing the house he grew up in on Toke street.

And Pinecrest Elementary, just up the hill from Ben's home,
where Ben attended Elementary school.

Finally, a picture of the fun we had while in Timmins.

Here's Ben at his uncle's cottage, having fun in the water with the kids.

And the black bears we saw at the local dump, rampant this time of year since the province of Ontario canceled their spring hunt.
