My kids are half polar bear I swear. While the rest of Orange County is wearing jackets and boots they proudly skip into school with shorts and summer dresses. I force my daughter to put a loose sweater over top it walking in so I don't get a million stares. I have yet to pick her up with the sweater still on. ;-) And with that their idea this cold January evening came as no surprise to me. "Let's go swimming in the ocean!" Where they the only ones in the water? There were probably five other people at the beach total, all of which were in jackets and far from the shoreline. Did it make these shots so much more memorable and fun? Without a doubt. My little polar bears doing their thing. The water felt like ice which only added to their squeals of fun. In the end they probably lasted about 12 minutes, but what a magical 12 minutes it was! And no, I don't have waterproof casing for my camera. I guess I'm just as crazy as them. ;-)
