So, is 49 Degree Water on a 95 Degree Day REFRESHING?

Over the Memorial Day weekend, the family hit to the campground where the rest of the family was actually camping....we went to visit for the day.
There is a river at this campground that has water from the BOTTOM of
the dam.
The water is a constant 49 degrees according to the pamphlet...I beg to differ.
When one steps into this water, it immediately feels like someone chopped off your feet and you are just standing on NUBS.
It also has been known to keep a watermelon ICE COLD...as long as you
keep it contained and not float with the current down the river....

This is Regan's reaction to the cold...no, it is not her interpretation of
the Raptor on Jurassic Park.


York the Diving Dork...remember him?
He thinks Regan is a wuss...so, he RUNS into the river....

Yah, see the expression....see the clamping of the sunglasses?


I am thinking at about this point....he is ready to apologize to the girl for acting like a girl.....



I know...you are thinking that is one weird looking ghost w/ a sleeve on or something....
This is wimpy, screams like a girl Levi....
I can't believe he actually thinks that holding his hands where they are
is actually going to provide some sort of protection....


Oops...the current rips off his flip flop...he has to REMOVE the hands
to retrieve the runaway flip flop....


He gets it put back on just in time for York the Diving Dork to
take another DIVE....




Right into Levi....just in case you aren't sure which is Levi..
He wrote his name on his back so you can peg him easily.


York did the right thing....HE SAVED THE GLASSES....
Remember that, always SAVE THE GLASSES....
I am wondering where Levi's hands are in this picture....
are they still providing protection??

York is doing the "run against the tide" run to get away
from Levi....RUN YORK RUN!!


About this time, Levi REMOVES his hands...see? there they are!
Now look at his expression...I guess they DID provide some
sort of protection, huh?



Levi is doing the famous..."suck it in" and still try to look cool.
York is trying to get back to land so he can put on his
sunglasses....


Speaking of sunglasses....now you see them....


Oops, where'd they go?

Yep, he didn't learn for York the Diving Dork....he dove in with his glasses on.
I'm sure there is a very happy trout that is thanking Levi for his donation to the sunny underworld of the river.

So, what's a guy to do.....run and throw York the Diving Dork into the water?
Go apply some sunscreen?
NOPE
Go get his son and dunk him into the water....
see?
Levi picks on the little guys.....

Look at that poor face....it looks almost drugged....
I think his blood turned to ice cubes at about the time I took this picture.


Yep, and dad smiles the WHOLE time....soooo sad.
I can't believe parents could be so CRUEL to their children...
sheesh...what kind of family is he from anyway?

Yep, believe it or not...there was a 3rd guy...he thought
he could be Joe Cool and handle the frigid water...
He managed to not make sissy girl faces....
But, there is a sign that it was FRIGID....
besides the rock hard nipples from the cold...
look at the "SUCKED IN GUT"!
Yep, sure sign he is trying to maintain the cool factor!
