Shabbat in Sdeh Boker

Last night we had a magnificent shabbat service overlooking the Ein Ovdat canyon. The kids sang shabbat songs and it was awesome as the sun set to the sound of their voices.

After dinner the kids tried their best to stay awake during our evening activity but Yuval, our tour guide, cut it short and they all had a good night's sleep.

This morning we let the kids sleep in until 8 and then we headed down into the canyon for the most amazing hike. It was an unbelievable day and the kids were troopers. They really loved every minute.

The kids had a few hours off this afternoon for shabbat and filled their time playing hide and seek. Not an ipod to be seen.

We ended the day with a visit to the snake zoo (Eden and Josie sacrificed the outing so they could send these pictures home to you) and we are so excited to embark on a beautiful moonlight hike for havdalah.

Hopefully we'll have internet at our next stop and we will upload more pictures.

The kids are truly amazing and we are so proud of each and every one.
