Taking the plunge

So, on January 1, we headed over to the Shiflets house for their annual polar bear plunge into their unheated pool. David, Cord and one other guy (not sure of his name?) were the brave souls who jumped in the freezing water...and got back out into the freezing air. It's been really cold here, folks! Anyway, I am not cleared for swimming yet post-delivery, or else I totally would(n't) have done it....

The few, the brave, lined up before the jump.


David jumped in!


And he quickly exited...


to find a dry towel.


Cord & his friend also cannon-balled


And also scurried out quickly.


And they all deserved the post-plunge hot tub...


Thanks, Shiflets! Such a fun tradition!
