We took a day off work to spend the time with the big boys, and ventured to the King Talal Dam and Scandanavian Forrest. It was beautiful weather to be outside and explore. This was our first visit to the dam and it was interesting to see. The dam is about 45 mins away, in the northern hills of Jordan, across from the Zarqa River. It is used to store winter rainwater and treated wastewater from Zarqa and Amman and to irrigate the Jordan valley.
It was nice to see something different and to be outside.
Our next stop was the Scandinavian Forrest. It is one of our local favorites to hike around and only about 1/2 hour away. I love the view of the city from up top and how clean and fresh the air feels.
The hike is a loop and you get beautiful views all the way around.
Setting off on the hike.
And Caleb found some sticks that looked like bones. They like to go on dino bone hunts on this hike :).
Nathan ended the hike by surprising the boys with hot chocolate in camping mugs. It was a fun day :)
