The Olympicthzs

Hi Dadthzs,

Here at Camp Carnelian, we are really into TEAM USA now that the Olympicthzs are on TV.  We are a house full of patriotic lovers of 'Merica year round, but after Shaun White got the GOLD again last night, we are a bunch of goofs hooting and hollering at the TV.  USA! USA! USA! 

It finally warmed up a little on Sunday so that we could walk on the lake again.  We took this picture because JuJu had her goofy TEAM USA sunglasses on:

Last night we walked with Karen, Kasey & Bailey - 2.35 miles!  It was hard work walking through some patches of deeper snow, but for the most part I stayed on the old snowmobile tracks.  I had to do a lot of high knees, but it was worth it.

Not much else to report Dadthzs.  Thanks for keeping an eye on things up there so we can enjoy the Olympicthzs and the athletes are safe and sound.

When do I get a vacation?

Hi Dadthzs,

I know you're back to Greenland and settled in for the next few months.  I was so glad to see you when you came back a few weeks ago!  JuJu didn't want me to post this picture because she thought it might make you feel bad, but I am posting it anyway so you know how much I love you.

This was me, after you left Camp Carnelian 2 weeks ago:

(JuJu got tears in her eyes when she took this picture.  She's not as tough as she acts sometimes.)

Shortly after you left, Brett & JuJu went on vacation too.  What's so cool about Mexico that you guys go there every year?  I don't understand why you all come home smelling like Margaritahzs either.  It's weird. 

I went to stay with Grandpa while Brett & JuJu were gone and now I think Mother Nature has something against me going to Grandpas!  Every time I go there, it's too cold for walks!  #Growl

I got back to Camp last night and found my familiar spot on the couch.  Brett was still in relax mode:

I am now back to King of the Camp:

I'm wondering since I'm technically still working 2 jobs (Autumn & Camp Carnelian Counselor) when do you think I am eligible for a vacation?  Do you think I should choose Mexico as a destination?  I don't care for tequila, but I do like the idea of a swim-up bar.  

The weather is going to warm up Sunday so I hear we are lake walking again with Kasey and Bailey.  I'll keep you posted on the gossip around the lake when I write again.  That cool guy Ripley has started an "ice out countdown" already.  Man these people are nuts.

Paws,

Bru
