Guys! New Year’s Day is officially my favorite holiday. This January 1st was especially awesome because Jeff hopped in frozen Lake Minnetonka for the 10th year, being the first of our group to achieve the enviable SHARK status! As he exited the frigid waters, he was draped in the coveted SHARK ROBE.

In honor of Jeff’s big jumped I finally gave in to his requests and jumped in for my first time with my good pal Crystal (who was in need of a partner), lezjustsay it was INSANE and my body felt crazy. I did not disgrace the robe, and swam the full 36′ without assistance from guys with sticks. It’s official I have moved from Guppy status to Minnow.

9 Years of Ice Jumps
These jumps have made the best New Year’s Day tradition ever. We follow the jump up with meat and cheese boards, crockpots full of chili, lots of Bloody Mary’s and tons of champagne. We hang out all day and night, and it’s literally the best! I even made the kids an ice rink in the backyard, it was dreamy bros.

Happy New Year!
