They are craaaaazy!

A few of my kids have done a New Year's day tradition....the polar bear swim. The idea is to go into the freezing cold water and at least quickly dunk under. The first year they did it they joined in with Syracuse's official group. Now they just do it themselves at a local swimming area on the river. Today's swimmers were...Drew, his friend Brian, Val's boyfriend John and Michelle. Allison and Val watched with Allison videotaping and Val taking pictures. BTW...it was a balmy 34 degrees Fahrenheit
