Polar bear plunge!


Our family has some funny little traditions.

Andrew found the raisin in his oatmeal this morning. Jim asked him what special thing should happen today because he discovered the "prized" raisin. His suggestion?

His daddy take a dip in the lake.



He strongly suggested that the children join him~(my excuse being I was holding a camera)~but there was a bit of resistance~


Way to go brave Daddy!


A lot colder than one would like~perhaps because the lake was still frozen two weeks ago~


The children bravely followed~




Run away, Andrew, Run. It's cold!


And all for a raisin.


Way to go you guys!

verse for today~


"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness that God requires." James 1:19-20
