Happy New Year

We did the Polar Bear Plunge in Cayucos on New Years Day. The water temperature was 54 degrees, air around 68 degrees with a mild wind.

It was the second annual for the Atkinson family. Last year Poppy did not get in the water, this year she dipped her toes, next year maybe her belly will get wet.

Carter was the first in, he lingered and submerged twice so I had to follow with the same or more. I did the same, not more - it was really cold.

Very fun atmosphere, everyone waiting around to freeze!


I was cold before we got in the water.



Poppy found a family that had lots of toys. So she played with the toys, hung out on their blanket and the mom played with Poppy as well. The little girl - Grace - is two and she had a hard time sharing with Poppy. Her mom would come over and make the little girl give Poppy the toy, and say "here you go - you can play with my toys." Carter drug Grace and Poppy around on the towel, they had a fun time.
