Taking the plunge!

Well he did it!!....but not in a speedo. He was going to wear one even though he didn't reach the $300 goal, but Dave was not able to find a speedo in time. But he did dive into the water! And he was up all night....shaving....his hair off the night before! And if you look at the pitures, you can see he shaved a lovely handlebar (chester molestor) stache which I made him shave off soon after! For those who know Dave, that is a hefty task shaving, and I've never seen him with that little amount of hair!
There were a ton of people there and luckily for everyone that was diving, it didn't rain, but the sun kept hiding behind the clouds, and the wind was a bit fierce.
The way they did the dive, because there were so many people, they had to go in groups. Dave was in group #29 out of like #33. So he had to stand in the huge line mostly naked for quite a while and was quite chilly. He could have poked someone's eyes out with those nips! But luckily for him, our friend Kent came to his rescue and gave him a sweater. But by the time he jumped in to the water, it wasn't as cold for him because he'd already been freezing his arse off.

He had a lot of fun doing it though, and plans to do it again next year. Thanks to everyone who helped out and donated. He ended up raising $220!! And as a whole, they raised $116,000 for the special Olympics! It was awesome!

After the plunge, we went to a Rugby game! Our friend plays on the Portland Pigs Rugby team, and let me tell you, that is a confusing sport. But it was really fun to watch and fun to watch him play!
