I’m sure that some of you are aware of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that has been generating a fair bit of social media buzz of late. You can read a bit more about the challenge here.

At any rate, it would appear that someone challenged Richard Garriott and his family — apart from baby Ronin, of course — to undergo the dumping of ice water, which they obliged in suitably Garriott-esque fashion:

Kinga had watched a few of the challenges online, so she knew to fear what was about to happen. We cut the movie before she expresses her displeasure at dad dunking her full faced with the majority of the bucket. She did get her ice cream and now loves watching the movie. BTW – We are all wearing flight suits. Mine is my actual Soyuz flight suit, and Laetitia’s is from her training in Star City. She is sitting in an authentic Soyuz Seat liner, from an actual space ship.

And in turn, the Garriott family have challenged the Hawking family — yes, that would be Stephen Hawking — to drench themselves.
