What a beautiful little baby you have there!

That looks extremely cold except for baby new year who looks very comfortable in the diaper.
The first picture of the man in the nappy made me laugh so hard!! Classic and rare to find! Loved the other pictures too!
Ha ha ha… that first picture made my day..thanks for posting it
I don’t think that will ever happen. This is on a lake, not the sea/ocean.
this is a crazy peoples who I was see ever. thumbs up for the photo shoot.

nice photos, what temperature had the water? looks cold
if shark will come here, what will happen? crazy girls
Haha my friend did the polar bear plunge last year. They were told that you should not dive in head first because it can somehow make your heart stop. I think in Russia this is a more popular activity and it is even thought to be healthy because it increases your general immunity=)
What flag is that? Retaking America! I’d like to get some closeups of their faces!
Crazy ppl, enjoying for new year
These guys/girls are crazy. It sort of reminds me of the polar bears club in Coney Island. they run into freezing water every year in Coney Islane NY.
Meh, I don’t know about the guy in the oversized diaper. I think I could’ve done without that! The safety pin is a little disturbing, but the pacifier has given me the shivers!
