Polar Bear Plunge

My husband Josh participated with his company in the Polar Bear Plunge this year. They raise money for the Special Olympics of Kentucky.I was so incredibly proud of him.We went down to the river around 11 for him to sign in and get ready. There was a huge turnout, I didn't realize so many people participated but was glad to see that.The boys were so cold since it was in the 30s and it was incredibly windy. Shannon went with me to help with the boys and we ended up having leave at about 12:30. It also started to sleet when we were leaving. I took Shannon and the boys back to the house and missed Josh's plunge.He said it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be, even though the water and the outside temperature were in the 30sThey had a hottub waiting for everyone who plunged so they could warm up.
If you'd like to donate you can still visit his company's website through the Polar Bear Plunge's website for donations.They raised $2,245 out of their $5,000 goal so far!

Winter Solstice Celebration

The Winter Solstice Celebration was pretty neat last night. There was a HUGE turnout. The place is an old meat packing plant that they totally gutted and transformed into an arts center. There are tons of shops and people's art studios all throughout the inside of the place and we spent the majority of our time in the courtyard for Josh to do their fire performances. He didn't realize how many people really watched them through the night til I showed him the pictures of the crowds around them. He definitely got people's attention! It was cute, before their last performance these two boys came up to see if they were going to perform again and said they had seen them five times already.
There were these huge paper mache puppet things that these two people were walking around in. They were pretty creepy and I took pictures of them just standing in the crowd because it looked so odd!

The crowd and the weird puppet things.


My honey.







It was awesome and they had a great time performing and made some pretty good tips.
He also got approached by some lady that does fire breathing for a local circus here in town to see about him performing with them.
Pretty neat.
