For the last 4 years we have gone up to Bear Lake to jump in the water. It is for my friend Juber's birthday. His birthday just happens to be in February and because of this people think we are insane, crazy, dumb....and other things. I participated the first year and then the next two years I was on my mission, so for this time I was really excited to be able to participate. Both times that I have been the lake has not been frozen over. If you know Bear Lake you will know that it does not get deep for a really long time. So in order to plunge...or get wet you have to run through the water for quite a ways. The rules are to get into the water, but not to put your head under. We're not that stupid. So basically we run out far enough that we can bend our knees or just sit down in the water. It is quite refreshing. Here are the pictures!
