Ceaser Creek Polar Plunge

Upon arrival to Ceaser Creek Lake on January 28, the first thing you see is 6 ambulance, 2 rescue boats and about 6 divers-- what does that tell you? Hm! Well, I understood that it was better than last year- they had to cut a 12 foot swath of ice for the plunge. This year, however it was 40 and sunny with a wind of 40 mph! Still a little crazy

That said, it was all to benefit the Special Olympics . Crazy as it might have been, big money was collected for a great cause and the cold only lasted for a short while.




Family to cheer on the plungers!


Oh you just wait!










Best dressed for the "Cold" water plunge


MC was dressed appropriately for the event- the non-plungers were
dressed warmly in our winter coats!


Can you hear his thoughts? "Hm, maybe not such a good idea".


" Yup, definitely not a good idea".


"Oh what the heck, I will if you will".












Matt and Molly headed out to the water holding hands--and then it was each one for themselves!




Rescue divers - didn't have to rescue today!

All was well
