For Charity: Annual Polar Plunge

This past Saturday, folks leapt into Goose Lake to raise money for the Special Olympics. Once again, everyone had a good time, and $350,000 was raised.

Photos can be found here, and here are a few samples to whet your appetite:

And they're off ... er, in!

Just in case you wondered whether it was cold

Post-plunge: "Where's the hot tub?"

See what you're missing? :)

Oh come on, Kelly: where's your spirit of adventure?

Our spirits of adventure are sitting nicely at room temperature! The seals and polar bears can have the cold water all to themselves.

Took me a minute to figure out that that's body paint and not clothing !!

Steve - I hear you. Took me a long time to work up the courage to do that, years ago ... and once was enough.

Chickenmom - LOL!

Cathy - me, too. It's easier to see that in the video than in the still photo, though.
