The Dead Sea is a fun enough place to warrant its own page full of pictures.  They were having so much fun that Monica couldn't bear it - she just had to get in, cast and all. It's a weird sensation - floating on water laden with 30% solid matter.  From the left: Sarah, Jacquelyn, Kim, Phil, Andrew, Andrea, Nate and Becky.   Grace kinda liked the bath oil feel of the water.   And here's Monica.  With a little ingenuity, she even kept her cast dry.  Carol is behind her.   Looking for a different kind of group picture, they tried making a circle.  What do you think?; did it work? Nate found mud and then they came.  Stacey and Kim were covered.   The fact that it was Halloween Day may have been a factor in this mud frenzy.  Meanwhile, Pat tries to scare us with his muscles. Anna, Kasey and Julie all smeared mud on themselves.   You know what maturity is, don't you?  It's getting old enough that you can go play in the mud without mom saying no.   "Who needs mud?  I got my own little private "cookie time" going!"
