Happy New Year! Polar Bear Splash @ Kyle Pool

I know... Texas weather. it was in the 60s and the water was in the 50s... but I jumped in. Did you?
This is the 7th Annual Polar Bear Splash at the Kyle Pool in Kyle, Texas.

Yes, that's me. This photo was taken by my wife, Jodie Claes.

Polar Bear Mar


This is my other Daughter Marlee... with her feet in the 48-degree water that my wife and I jumped in on New Years. I swear if we let her this 3 1/2 year old would have jumped in herself. She was totally into it.

I was going to post a photo of the event from another photographer - Gregory Cooper who has a Flickr page called "phive" but I can't post photos from his profile... so.. please go check his photography out. He's got some great stuff... including a photo of me and Mar Mar...
