Polar Bear Plunge

The first of the year started with brilliant sunshine streaming into our bedroom through the fog and an early morning cup of coffee.  Much better than starting off with a hangover, a payoff to spending New Years at home in bed, watching the fireworks blast off in the distance over Samish Island. 

We bundled the girls up as much as they'd let us and headed to Lake Padden to watch a crowd of brave souls take the polar bear plunge.

I'm not ever planning on joining this crowd.  Spectating was cold enough for me.

Marguerite took the lead for a walk along the shore,

 

and G busted out this move every time she had an audience.

 

Bring it 2013!
