Dead Sea Fun

This past weekend, we went to the Dead Sea for a night away. We surprised the boys and took them after their baseball game, and they were very excited about the surprise. The weather was beautiful and water felt great, though it was a little chilly. We usually get in the sea first thing, then spend the rest of the day at the pools.

The first day Benjamin didn't want to get in, but he enjoyed playing in the shallow area.

Caleb has become a lover of floating and swimming in the Dead Sea!

Even baby girl got in on the action!

The second day, we all went in. But first Caleb and dad went for a swim out far.

Here comes Benjamin...

And all of us :)

The boys completed two challenges that day - a swim in the sea, and a swim in the cold pool, so they got ice cream as a treat :). The main pool and kiddie pool were heated, but the other pools (to include the one with the water slide) were not...but the boys and Nathan still went down several times. They are ready for the polar plunge!

There was  really swanky wedding at the hotel that night. The boys really wanted to go, but he had to explain we weren't invited. But, since it was outside, we were able to watch from a far.

On the way back to our rooms, we caught a belly dance show at one of the outside restaurants. She was really good and we enjoyed watching for a while.

Lots, lots, lots of pool time and swimming :).

It was a fun night away and we are always glad to visit this amazing place! We left with enough time to drop our stuff at home and get changed for Easter service at church. Easter post coming next...
