Some of our friends have an annual tradition of taking a plunge into Barton Springs on the 1st day of the year- well some of our friends and a lot of Austinites (also ran into Christine and Kirk but forgot to get a picture!)! Let me say, Barton Springs is SO cold in the summer, so the thought of jumping in when it's 40 degrees outside sounds crazy to me!! But apparently
because it's so cold outside, it's less of a shock to your body - and even feels warmer in the water! Well, I went along for the fun, but Barrett was the only Wood that made the plunge this year (I was baby-wearing so will use that as my excuse this year!). Maybe I will get in next year! Fun time though, and cool to see everyone buzzing with excitement for the new year, new beginnings, and maybe some extra endorphins from the cold!!

The Edwards, the Woods, the McDonnells (the kids and I are the only ones who didn't jump)!
