polar plunge 4:47 PM

Our community had it's 6th annual Polar Plunge this past weekend. Juan and I just had to sign up to do it. Basically you go over to the pool and go down the slide and plunge into the cold water. Then you get a warm breakfast afterwards. The air temp was about 40 (which wasn't horrible) and we forgot to ask what the pool temp was, but it felt like ice!! anyways, for me, the worst part was walking up the stairs to get to the top of the slide, b/c the ground was really cold so my feet were like frozen. And then to top it off, for whatever reason i was going down the slide really really slow. i kept getting stuck and had to keep pushing myself farther down. Juan said I had to lean back to go faster but I didn't want to because the water rushing down was so cold on my back when I would try. Anyways, here are a few pics and a dorky video...

The kids were all bundled up to watch us:
