Freezin' for a Reason

Last weekend Trav put a team together for the Polar Plunge. He asked for donations and then jumped into this icy cold pond for the Special Olympics! I was really proud of him for wanting to do this, but I wasn't about to jump in. My hair would have turned into an ice cube and wouldn't have ever dried. Ok, so I'm being a bit dramatic. But the water was a whopping 35 degrees. Here are some pictures an a movie of our exciting Saturday!

What Travis was lucky enough to jump into!


After he came out of the water I was surprised when we hung out for about 20 minutes. There was a campfire and hot chocolate and lots of people so it was fun to stay out, I just thought he'd be freezing his buns off!



The other athletic trainers that were brave enough to jump in




So here's the movie I made of Travis jumping in. I show my support by cheering on the plungers, not by jumping in myself!

Were they able to raise a bit? Good Job Trav.... I might have done it just to prove I am tough... but would have hated every second of it! Your hair would have been hilarious... seriously growing ice on it! By the way... I am back to blogging! Pass it down, don't hog it all!
