Apparently one of J's bucket list items has been to take a plunge into the ice cold water of a frozen lake, aka the "Polar Bear Plunge/Challenge". When he found out that Dartmouth's undergraduate Winter Carnival was hosting one of those parties he had it penned on the calendar, not to be forgotten. As February approached it got unseasonably warm for a week or two and essentially melted most of the snow on the ground. Lucky for J that Friday evening of the Carnival it cooled right off and we got a fresh pile of snow. The kids and I decided it would be too windy and cold to watch him freeze his #$%& off and elected to see photos afterwards. One word to describe this crazy experience from the pictures......COLD.
Apparently it's an "amazing" experience to go through. Too bad I'm not looking for any amazing life changing experiences like this, so I clearly don't have to worry that I am missing out.
Good Job Babe!
I promise to still love you even if you have permanent frost bite on your fingers and toes :)
