Penguin Plunge


















In honor of the cold temperatures, Jared decided it would be fun to have our own “penguin plunge” like they have in New Hampshire (they go in the icy ocean), but with a different twist: everyone who wanted to participate had to go outside in their swimsuits and bare feet, and whoever lasted the longest won. Of course, this was behind our gate, where nobody could see--though it might have been funny to hear the shocked tirades from anyone, especially any old babushkas, who would have walked by and seen us that way. :) Jared, Megan, and I stayed out for a long time but none of us thought it was that cold (it was about 10 degrees, I guess)--maybe we lived in Central NY and NH too long. In the end the younger kids got bored so we called it a 3-way-tie and ran down to the pool which was really hot. It made our feet tingly and numb-feeling at the same time.
