2013 Annual Polar Plunge

Here is the Longmore Family, 6th annual polar plunge!  And by polar plunge, I of course mean heated swimming pool :) Every December, we go swimming and then eat Thai food.  It's a tradition we started back in Idaho when we were newly weds up and loved going up to Lava Hot Springs.  This year was Lily's first time swimming EVER and she loved kicking her little legs around in the water, although she got cold quickly.  Ava was really adventurous this year and loved the little water slide.  Ryan took her to the lazy river and she could not be convinced to leave it.  She went around and around holding onto her pool noodle laughing and giggling the whole way.  She didn't even want us to help hold onto her or her noodle. Our plunge ended a little early when the life guards kicked everyone out of the pool to deal with a contamination issue.  Earlier, another mom had been going around asking for a spare swim diaper as she had forgot one and the desk didn't sell them.  I guess she never found one.  Yikes!  At any rate, we called it day and headed out to eat some yummy Thai food.  A good time was had by all!

Warming up afterwards:

 The selfie starts getting especially awkward with 4 of you:


This little one was all smiles and giggles!  I guess she loves to swim!
