It is a tradition to jump into my FREEZING lake on the New Years. It always sounds like a good idea at the time... until your body is submersed into the frigid water and you think somebody is stabbing needles into every inch of your skin. Sounds pleasant Right?? That's when your head starts pounding and your lower limbs go numb. It is great. :)

This year there were 13 guys. And 2 girls. (Me and my cousin.)

Everybody sprinted in the house right after.

My brave 11 yr. cousin and me.

For some strange reason I look forward to this event all year. Call me crazy.
