Polar Plunge 2010

Saturday March 20th was the Polar Plunge and again Jamie jumped in memory of his dad. He raised over $600 for the church team. And the church raised over $6,000 together, which won them top honors of most raised for the second year in a row. This year they dressed up as the different branches of the service. They had Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard all covered.

Jamie got registered right away when we got there.

With the amount he raised he got a free t-shirt and sweatshirt, which as you can see were green this year. Last year they were blue, so I think I might have to steal this years shirts.

There was another team running around giving people eggs. And inside the eggs you either got candy or a ticket for a free shirt. Jakob got one of the tickets.

And thankfully so did Seth. So they each got their own shirt too.

As Jamie was digging through his old Air Force clothes Jake was taking them and trying them on. So he dressed up for the plunge also.

Here is the First Lutheran Church group. All of them jumped, except my two boys in front and the little girl on Pastor Scott's shoulders.

How cute are they??

Here is our Navy and I also over heard the lady in grey say that this is her last jump. She is now 70 and felt it was time to stop.

As you can see the ice on the lake melted a little early this year. So unlike last year we were not able to stand on the ice and watch. We had to stand up on the shore. There was a little ice on the shore line for the people to run off of. Jamie said it was a lot deeper this year and you had to swim back to shore if you went to far out on your jump.

Here's Jamie's jump. He is the one on the right.
