How was everyone's weekend? Ben and I took off Friday for Canada. His dad built a cabin just over the boarder on Lake Superior. It's such a relaxing place to hangout. Right on the lake it overlooks a handful of islands including Isle Royal. We had beautiful weather the whole time so much of it was spent outside helping out with the gardens or just laying in the sun snacking* and drinking. We saw a lot of animals while driving up there- the cutest porcupine, a few foxes, and a big black bear and cub! I have always wanted to see a black bear so I was pretty excited seeing this guy. He just sat and watched us for awhile like it was no big deal. *On our way there we stopped in at Grand Portage to get some snacks and to my surprise they carried Twin Bings!! I was listening to NPR's The Splendid Table (on Saturday afternoons) a couple months ago and Lynne had on this author talking about the best old school candy bars and he said the Twin Bings was his favorite. Ever since I've been keeping an eye out for them but couldn't find them anywhere until now! They're absolutely horrible for you, but they are a tasty treat for sure.
