Polar Bear Swim

On New Year's Day, Gulf Shores had a polar bear swim at the main beach, where everyone & anyone was encouraged to come brave the cold water via slip & side....preferably in costume. Well, the thought of crazies running into the ocean all decked out was too much to pass up, so we headed down there to see what all the fuss was about. The weather ended up being overcast & a little cool that day, so Tanner & Harrison chose to watch from our front-row parking space. Hampton, however, LOVES going to the beach, so Bo and Hamp went to get a better view. Hampton had a blast running around and playing on the beach, with only a few attempts to break up a volleyball game & run into the gulf. We had a great time watching him play & have fun, but what we were most amazed at were all the people we knew that had actually participated in the swim!
