Polar Bear Plunge 2008
One of our traditions is the Polar Bear Plunge in Lake CDA at noon on New Year’s Day. This year, Brianna, her friend Janie, and Johnny braved the snow and 22 degree temps to jump ALL THE WAY IN the freezing lake water with about 500 other crazies. Johnny thought knives were stabbing his legs, but the free hot cocoa provided by local churches soothed some of the pain :*) I love my kids! What an awesome way to start the year. We just got home, Bree headed for a hot bath, and Johnny is under my electric blanket on high, where both of them will probably stay for the rest of the day. What crazy thing will you dare to do this year to bring some great memories to your life????

Yikes… makes me cold just looking at it! There are several friends of mine who do the PBP to raise money for Down syndrome research. I applaud them and donate money from my warm living room! LOL
Happy New Year!
