The Harvey Ranch


On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we got to go with Tye and Amy to Tye's dad's ranch near Oakdale, CA. It was just a couple of hours in the car---but the scenery felt totally different. We have been eager to see the ranch---we have heard about it since the first time we met Tye, and know that it is an important part of his life. It was nice to slow down a bit, relax, walk in the pastures, look at the horses, and play with Rowan and Tye's little brother, Tanner (7). Tanner was more than gracious with a 2 year old invading his territory, and Rowan thought she was in heaven between the cows and horses and all of Tanner's toys to play with!

We ate wonderful food (t-bone steaks that were raised on the ranch, plus fresh hamburgers the next day), had a nice little cottage to stay in, and felt re-charged for the week ahead. Tye's dad and step-mom offered comfortable hospitality--thanks Tye, Amy, John, Kay, and Tanner!
