Strong Tower Ranch

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower….”  Proverbs 18:10

Cody and Anna had an incredible week at Strong Tower Ranch.  Some of the activities that week were fishing, ziplining, bull rides, trail rides, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boats, archery, BB guns, obstacle courses, swimming in the lake, Bible, creation station, volleyball, kickball, and the list goes on.  Nothing beats their own personal memories there, though, like the first day when Anna got locked into a dressing room and had to finally sacrifice her hand to get out.  She figured the pain would be better than being stuck in there the rest of the day!  Or when she lost her underwear after swimming and announced on the drive home that she was going commando.  Or when Cody misheard his counselor and learned that he was not asking “who wants to steal food” but instead “who wants to scoop poop.”  Guess who got poop duty after the trail ride? Ha!  Or when two days later we are driving through the car line to drop off, and Anna shouts, “There’s my underwear!”  Sure enough, her underwear, along with various other lost items, were strung across the fence post for all to see and pick up as we drove through the line.  Anna was mortified!  Cody’s best friend got to go with him, and Anna shared a bond with counselor Kara.  As we left on the last day, Anna asked if they would go back again next summer.  They both agreed it was an awesome experience.
