My parents came up for Rexburg's Snowfest yesterday so Nick and my Dad could participate in the Polar Bear Swim. Yes, they jumped into ice cold water in their swimsuits in the cold January temperatures (20 degrees)! Nick did a belly flop and couldn't tell if the severe pain was from the icy water or from the giant slap his body felt when he hit the water. My Dad followed with an amazing cannon ball where he not only splashed all of us watching, but he hit the bottom of the pool. My mother and I were totally in awe of their pure manliness and couldn't have been prouder. Above is a picture of them after the big jump. At the end of this post is the video of their descent into the icy waters. The funny part is, they are already making plans for next years jump. The video isn't the greatest, we found it hard to film while being splashed and sliding down a hill.....so I was informed that next year they are going to hire their own professional photographer!
We love you Mom and Dad.....thanks for the fun weekend!!
Mea rode around on a sled and enjoyed every minute of it!

You guys are awesome! I remember going with you guys last year... that seems so long ago. But we watched all those people thinking they were crazy for doing the polar bear swim... Nick, you are one of those crazy people now! Miss you guys! How is everything going??

Thats so funny. How brave to attempt a belly flop. I think the video was awesome too.
Those boys are insane. I don't think I could be paid enough to do that.
CRAZY people! So wait, does that mean you'll be in Rexburg next year? I hope that means you'll just go for the event. . .
