Somewhere in the long list of things to do before I die sits the accomplishment of taking a “polar plunge.”  I’ve wanted to try it since I was a kid and saw these crazy people jumping into the ice-covered water on the news.  This past weekend I had a chance at the Indiana Special Olympics‘ Polar Plunge at Eagle Creek.  However, I was busy photographing the event.  So, I’ll have to wait to a little longer before I get to mark it off the list.  The best part about me choosing the warmer way to volunteer for the event is that I have photos to share.  So enjoy just a “few” of my favorites from the event.

Great Clips was there helping to put finishing touches on everyone’s costumes.

You burn a lot of calories while doing the plunge, Dunkin Donuts was there to put us back at normal.

The costumes were great!

And the winner is!

Scotty from 100.9 Radio Now could not stop squeezing the woopie cushion.

There was even dancing while the water was prepared.

Miss Indiana and Indiana Teen were there to warm everyone up!

The crowd of supporters was amazing.  Way to go fans of crazy people!

A HUGE Thanks to the Police and Firemen there to keep everything safe and fun!

Thanks for stopping by.  Get outside and enjoy this weather a little bit!

Saying goodbye is typically pretty hard to do.  But with how things have been lately, saying goodbye to Winter is going to be a little easier then normal!  Temperatures are finely rising above the freezing mark and it looks like we’ll even get into the low 40′s next week.  Days may still cool down a little in the coming months, but I have a good feeling that we’re seeing the last of the freezing weeks/months like we’ve  come from.  In a way, I’m sure we’ll miss it, we’re just having trouble right now thinking of what that way could possibly be.  So with spring just around the corner and all of the new opportunities that it’ll bring for us, we’re celebrating this weekend, as the last of the cold months.  We leave you with one of my  favorite winter pictures from this year to remember it by.

Here’s to getting outdoors more and more in the coming months!!!
