Harmon Ranch August 21, 2008

Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, My Handsome Husband, Princess Hannah , trackback

David’s sister, Janine, and brother-in-law, Hal, have a ranch house up South Fork Canyon.  This ranch sits on 600 acres, with plenty of fun things to do to keep everyone busy and happy.

They invited us over to spend the day with them last week.  Hal started the morning off right by making everyone a delicious breakfast of Ego Waffles, eggs, and bacon.  It was de-lish.

At first, Hannah was a little nervous when she saw the ATV so I took her on a very short 10 minute ride to go see some ducks.  When we got back, David and Hal decided to go for a ride, and they took Hannah.

TWO HOURS LATER . . .(I’m not kidding) they returned.  Hannah had dirt all over her face when they stopped and the first thing out of her mouth was “FUN!”  I was a little worried about her being gone for so long. What two year old can sit in a car, CONFINED IN A CAR SEAT, for two hours and not squirm or whine?  Hannah SAT ON DAVID’S LAP FOR TWO HOURS on that ATV and the first thing out of her mouth is “FUN?”

Maybe I should take her on more drives.



Janine and Hannah enjoyed the swing set on the Ranch’s property.  Hannah LOVES Janine, and decided that she would be her designated playmate for the day.





David picked up archery, and spent some of the day showing off his archery skills.

We love spending time with the Harmons and we certainly had a great time.

I secretly wish we owned this ranch, but whatever.  It’s in the family, right?

Looks like fun. Hey Em, what kind of camera do you have? Your pics are always so great.

What fun!!! I can not believe she was that good for that long of a ride! I love getting away from it all. Being up and away from everyone is wonderful. ATV’s are fun. It seems like I have not been on one since I was like 15.

Andrea, I use a Cannon S2IS. It has a 12X zoom (which always came in handy when photographing ocean traffic) and it is 5 mega pixels. It is a step down from an SLR. I have really enjoyed it, but it has limitations. What I REALLY want is a Nikon D80 (with several lenses of course) but I can’t justify buying it right now. Your pictures look great too. What kind of camera do you use?
