Circle Square Ranch

When I was about 12, I went to "the Ranch" for the 1st time. I ADORED it!! I went back again the next Summer. Then the next 4-5 Summers as Staff. I met many wonderful friends, many that I am still in contact with. Actually, that is where I met my husband! 

Shaun and I decided that our kids were old enough now to have their own "Ranch experience", so with some tax refund money we have them registered to go away (for a whole WEEK) this coming Summer. I think at this point, I am more excited then they are!!

Awesome!! I would have LOVED to been able to attend a summer camp program like this as a child, but I didn't have the opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed our very short overnight retreat at the Arden Circle Square Ranch a few years back. It will be a memorable experience for them.

Gotta love tax money!! (I actually didn't have to pay this year..woohoo!)

I'm sure they will both love it--as I'm sure you will too!
