Today after work Elizabeth and I participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  This is a challenge that has recently gone viral, and many famous people have already participated.  The purpose of it is to raise awareness for the terrible disease ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.  Once a person is nominated to participate, they have 24 hours to either be doused with a bucket of ice water, or to donate money to ALS.  Yesterday, I was nominated by my sister-in-law Sarah Gleason.  Elizabeth and I plan on donating money, but we also wanted to to the challenge and nominate others. Today, after taking the challenge, I nominated my sister Amy, my dad Eben, and my friend Dan Becker. 

Here is a link to my YouTube video.

And here is Elizabeth's video.

I must say that I was expecting Elizabeth to douse me with water quickly, so when it turned out to be slower than I expected I was a little upset. I think it turned out pretty funny though.  The memory card on our camera was full and cut Elizabeth's video short, but we just barely captured her getting drenched.
