THE POLAR BEAR CLUB

THE POLAR BEAR SWIM AT STAKE CAMP

NO...!!! NOT THOSE KIND OF POLAR BEARS...!!!!

***************

CAN I JUST SAY THAT THIS WAS THE MOST REFRESHING SWIM

I HAVE EVER HAD.. :)

I HAVE WATCHED FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS NOW ALL THE FUN

EVERYONE HAS HAD DOING THE POLAR BEAR..

ALWAYS AFRAID TO GET MY HAIR WET OR CLOTHES WET..

NOT WANTING TO DEAL WITH THE COLD AFTER THE SWIM.

THOSE WERE ALWAYS MY EXCUSES..

****************

I WAS NOT ONLY DETERMINED TO DO IT THIS YEAR..

BUT... I WAS THE FIRST GIRL TO HIT THE WATER.

I HAVE SECRETLY ALWAYS WANTED TO JOIN IN..

BUT YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WE LET WHAT

OTHERS MIGHT THINK OF US GET IN THE WAY.

BUT THIS YEAR WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ONE

VERY PATIENT AND WONDERFUL HUSBAND,

I JOINED THE CLUB..

I HAD A BALL..

AND I THINK THE REST OF THE GIRLS DID TO..

***************

CORT WOULD BE SO PROUD OF ME I AM SURE.. :)

THANK YOU DEBBIE FOR SUGGESTING IT..

AND THANKS FOR BEING RIGHT THERE HELPING

ME TO OVERCOME ONE OF MY OBSTACLES..

THANKS LORA FOR STANDING RIGHT BY MY SIDE..

AND CAROLINE (POOR GIRL) FOR TRYING TO

HELP ME OUT OF THE WATER.
