Well, on one particular morning as we are strolling down the West Harbour and we start doing some plyometrics I suggested that we take a dip in the water. Well, this didn't come about solely on it's own. I am quite convinced that it was seeing other people going for a dip that it enticed me to want to give it a try. I have always wanted to try those winter baths you take here but have never done it. It's probably that I start with a summer bath, right?
So, I suggested it and Mattias gladly agreed. I think he thought I was partially kidding at first. But I wasn't. I stripped down to my underwear and sports bra and got in the water. It was cold but you quickly adapted. I could have stayed in all morning. Crazy, I know.
Then Mattias got in. He started hyperventilating because he thought it was too cold. What kind of Swede is he? Swede's live for this stuff, right?
Nonetheless, we enjoyed it thoroughly. The kids enjoyed watching. And after that time we vowed to do it as often as possible. And our biggest hope is, that we find a big enough, yet affordable apt at the West Harbour, that way we can go for a dip whenever we want.

Going in. Slowly but surely.
Mattias going back in. He initially went in in just his underwear but when he put his shorts back on they got wet in all the right places...in otherwards it looked like he had peed his pants. So he decided to go back in with his shorts on, that way they were completely wet and not just in some areas. He's looking down like, " should I really do this again".
