2009 Penguin Plunge!!!

Before the plunge... we had some time to kill... so Dave thought it would be funny to play around with the bow tie...



Pictured in no particular order from the PLUNGE... the water was 36 degrees.. the air temp was about the same... Dave and I both went in up to out necks... it literally took our breath away.. you couldn't inhale it was so cold and as we headed back to shore it took everything we had to get our leg muscles to work correctly... FYI.... Jake went in not only once.. but TWICE!!!!
TEAM VIKING raised over $2,500.00 today!!!!



















Our photographers/ babysitters for the day.... Aric and his girlfriend Kiersten.. this was taken back at our friends John and Lori's house... Lori had a HUGE pot of chowder and HOT grilled Rhuebin sandwiches ready for us when we got back to their house for lunch!!! Thanks Guys!!! Lunch was great!!!!!

Wow - that looks like so much fun (especially from the confines of a warm room!). I love the expression on your face in the 6th picture down. See you on Friday!
