What isn't to love about sweet summertime? Fireworks, farmers markets, family and friends to visit with. It was glorious. Toronto is in it's prime at this time of year and we're trying to make the most of it while in town.

Great Lakes Ranch: Yakety Yak
Just a quick PSA. If you haven't slipped your foot into an alpaca and yak lined sock, you're not living. Yes, I am aware that it is the middle of summer. But moving to Canada will make one prepare for winter months in advance. Let me explain...
We discovered these gems while visiting Great Lakes Ranch.
We came as a fun activity for James Robert, which it was (yaks are adorable). And we discovered that they also make incredibly soft wares. We left with a few pairs of, what I'm sure will be, a winter necessity.
P.S. Great Lakes Ranch was just featured on Blue Collar Millionaires and it's fascinating to learn about how they breed the alpacas and yaks!
July 4th in Northern Michigan
There is an earnest wholesomeness in
the summertime of Northern Michigan that induces nostalgia and childlike-joy to
bubble up. Besides the cherries, it’s one of my favorite things about
visiting this area every year.
