Ice Beard

CAUTION: don’t look too close

Only in the upper mid-west will people go and have fun at 9 degrees below zero.  This past week was our annual Winter Family Camp.  We had the opportunity to serve 112 campers.  On one of the nights (when it was REALLY cold) I had the opportunity to actually have some play time on our hill.  For some reason no one wanted to brave the cold for lessons .  So I had some fun doing “jumps” off our quarter pipe with another camper – Sam (HI Sam ).  Well anyway, about the beard… Jesse Schutt was supervising the hill that night and also supervising the progress of the frost appearing on my face.  Then it became the activity of the night to see how well I could grow my newly found beard.  Let me tell you… it was cold.  What you see on my face is what was left from the walk back across the lake (some melted along the way).
