The Long-Anticipated Polar Bear Dip!

King Henry hosted our annual Polar Bear Dip this past Saturday morning.

It was a cool morning with temperatures ranging around 38 degrees. Yikes.

We had some very brave participants (mostly ladies this year) who each received a Polar Bear T-shirt and cash prizes or giftcards depending on the soda can they retrieved during their dive to the bottom of the pool.


Preparing for the swim!
 
Just before...freezing!

 
Cold!

After the swim--posing with their polar bear shirts!

Made some big money :)
Two lucky ladies won $63 combined in cash, Chili's, and BlackJack giftcards.

 
Our terrific Dutch Oven chef--Gene Harris. He did a terrific job making breakfast
 Overall, it was an excellent morning and everyone left happily full, a little cold, and with the sweet prizes they earned. Who is already excited for next year?!

Merry Christmas! 

Last week, we hosted the apartment decorating contest. We saw several beautiful apartments, but a few exceeded the rest with their incredible themes! 

Here are some pictures of the top three apartments! 

Commercial Christmas: Santa

The True Meaning of Christmas: The Nativity

Insanely Cheesy Christmas: All Out

Our first place winners (The Nativity) won $60 cash and a candy basket. 
Our second place winners (Santa) won $40 cash and lots of chocolate. 
Our third place winners (All Out) won $20 and chocolate, too. 
We had so much fun visiting everyone's apartments!!! Thanks for bringing the Christmas spirit to King Henry!
