Gov. Nikki Haley's kids dump water on her for a cause

Gov. Nikki Haley's children got to live out many kids' inner fantasies Thursday.

Rena and Nalin Haley dumped pitchers of ice water on their mother outside of the Governor's Mansion as part of the ALS Association's Ice Bucket Challenge.

Many celebrities and sports stars have posted photos and videos of themselves being doused with ice water for the cause.

In a video posted on her YouTube page, Haley challenged three South Carolina celebrities to take the challenge -- comedian Stephen Colbert of Charleston, musician Edwin McCain of Greenville and Clemson University football head coach Dabo Swinney.

After her kids drenched her, Haley laughs, looks at the camera and pronounces, "You can cut it off now."
