Beach fun at Ashod Israel

On Sunday we went to the beach. (Now don't think that we broke the Sabbath--the Jewish sabbath is on Saturday so that is when we go to church) We drove about an hour to Ashod. This is the place being shelled by the Palistinians ifrom the Gaza Strip in the recent war this past December. The soldier stayed on this beach. Anyway--all is calm there now, and we had a great time playing in in the Mediterranian Sea. The water was so nice and warm, sand was soft, and they had huge canopies set up on the beach to escape from the sun. You can see Tanner is having a ball in the waves, trying out his body surfing.
