One of the activities the resort was offering was their 9th Annual Polar Bear Plunge where all willing candidates jumped into the (unheated) pool on the morning of New Year's Eve.
Anna decided she wanted to do it. Fletcher decided to join her. Kevin wanted to be supportive of his son so he agreed to do it too. Please know my husband absolutely HATES cold water. Couple cold water with cold weather and he goes nowhere near it. But he LOVES his son.
You'll have to watch the video (at the end of the post) a couple of times. First, note how many people are actually doing this. Proves that we are not the only nutty family in the world. Second, note Fletcher's hesitation. He is the last one in the pool. Third, go back and focus on Kevin. I have never seen anyone enter and exit a pool that quickly. He yanked Fletcher out so fast I thought he might go flying over the fence.
We were the first ones there. We were hoping we weren't going to be the only ones there!

More people showed up. Kevin is mentally preparing himself. Fletcher is wondering what he agreed to. 
After the plunge. They each got a certificate. The Plunge in the ocean was the next day, but Kevin said, "No way."
Luke was in a powdered doughnut coma. Note the white ring around his mouth. He is trying to negotiate another one from Papa Charlie.
The video proof.
The kids spent New Year's Eve attempting to do a little fishing and crabbing with Uncle Gavin. Unfortunately, the fish and crabs were having parties of their own because they weren't biting. My pictures didn't turn out too well since it was dark.

I love how Uncle Kevin stand around like "yeah I wasn't the first one out". HAHA that was hilarious!!
All I can say is BRRRR.....Rachel you're the smart one doing the videoing! I think you should start telling Kevin now that that his annual tradition with his son and that noone could ever take his place...that way you'll never have to take the plunge. Hee hee!
