Plunge for Adventure!

April 5, 2023

Photo of Tim, Katie, Sally, and Sarah posing for the camera. From left is: Tim wearing rain gear and a stick festooned with egg masses made out of bubble wrap. Katie dressed head to toe in black with long antennae leaning sharply over to one side like she's wiggling around. Sally, crouching in a frog pose, is dressed head to toe in green. She is wearing swim goggles with large googly eyes stuck on, and blue flippers. Sarah is holding a log with a turtle on it, both made out of cardboard, and she is wearing blue fabric draped around her neck and a blaze orange HLT hat.
