Polar Bear Plunge

Penulis : Unknown on Sunday, 1 January 2012 | 20:16

We spent the first day on 2012 on Sullivan's Island for the Dunleavy's Pub Polar Bear Plunge. The plunge benefits the SC Special Olympics and their mid-winter games. This was our first time participating, and it won't be the last! What a gorgeous day, too!

We volunteered to be a part of the 'bucket brigade' to walk around and collect donations. I thought I'd spread a little awareness by wearing my +15 shirt!

People really couldn't resist saying no to Kayla and Lucas when they asked, "Would you like to make a donation?" And Kayla loved handing out the "I Donated" stickers to everyone - sometimes even before they donated!

Absolutely beautiful weather today! This was the beach pre-crowd.

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! Of course this was lost on my kids, but I had to take their picture with this group.

We didn't actually plunge in the ocean; while it was a beautiful day the water was only 57 degrees and well, that was a bit too cold for me! But we did plunge our feet in the water! Kayla had so much fun jumping in the water, the cold didn't seem to bother her at all... and I had to pull her out when it was time to go. She just did NOT want to leave!
