Polar Bear Plunge

Well, the deal is done, mission accomplished! The Polar Bear Plunge of 2009 was a success, and I have the pictures to prove it. I’m the one in the smart looking red mittens. (What, so I get cold hands)
The temperature was around 20, with some killer wind, and the water— freezing. I don’t think I’ve ever moved as fast as I did when I scrambled out of the hole in the ice. I didn’t know I could move that quickly.
Jump in, dunk, and climb out as fast as I could, easy breezy lemon squeezy. Before, we were all laughing and joking, trying to sound brave. Then the big jump in, and out we flew lickty split. I’m glad to be done, and proud to have done it.
The “kids” all had fun, and what a way to bring in the New Year.
