Nathan participated in the "Polar Bear Plunge" last year. It's a fund raiser that law enforcement agencies hold several places in Minnesota to raise money for the Special Olympics. One of Nathan's colleagues got a group of them together last year and it was really fun to watch. They break through the ice at Foster Arend park which is basically a small lake. A lot of people participate and dress up. Andy and Haley both said that they wanted to do it this year with Nathan. Again his colleague, Jay Homme, got their group together and they all met up to take the plunge. Nathan, Haley, and Andy dressed up as the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1, and Thing 2. We didn't get a picture of them beforehand because, of course, we were running late and it was too cold to put on their costumes outside. Haley and Andy both raised $75 each and Nathan raised over $200! Thanks to those who gave donations! Nathan kept telling the kids that it wouldn't be as cold as they thought, but as it turns out, it was colder than he remembered! They all survived and want to do it again next year! In the video, watch Andy hang on Nathan's arm after they jumped!
