Just a quick post

It's been awhile since I've posted as I've been busy at work and haven't had much time to spend with my puppy!

This past week was a full one. On Monday, the 4th of July, I didn't have work and therefore got to spend a lot of time with Charlie. In the morning we went to Beaver Lake Park in Sammamish for a breakfast picnic with my mom's side of the family. Almost everyone was there that live over this side of the mountains! We were only missing my brother, who is still in Costa Rica. Charlie really wanted to go swimming in the lake as he wanted to chase the ducks, but there were people fishing and we didn't want to disturb them. I also wasn't really wanting to give him a bath afterwards! We had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and cinnamon rolls like we always do. We cook all the food, minus the cinnamon rolls, on the camper stoves that a couple of us have. Charlie mostly begged the whole time of course. He was tied to one of the picnic tables because we didn't trust him off leash, not with the lake so close by! I meant to bring my camera to get some pictures of him at the lake, but I forgot it. :( I was really wanting to blog about it, but wanted pictures to show how much fun he had!

Later in the day at about 5:00 my mom, dad, and I went to our annual 102nd ct (my first neighborhood) block party. My mom and dad didn't want to bring Charlie because they would be the ones that had to watch him. I told them I would watch him, but the still said no. :( I really wanted him to come because I wanted to get pictures again...oh well. I had a great time at the block party as I got to see all the friends that I grew up with. I really miss that neighborhood. It was one of the one of a kind neighborhoods, the kind where everyone knows each other and everyone gets together. Charlie never lived in that neighborhood, but I know he would have loved it if he did! It is a Cul-de-sac so he wouldn't have had to worry about too many cars and wouldn't have to be told to stay away from the street.

Right now Charlie is sleeping after having a bath. He was quite smelly, in my opinion and as we are going to Spokane to visit my Grandparents tomorrow, I really wanted him to smell good. Also, we are going to go visit my Nana before we head off to Spokane as she is turning 90!

Sorry about the lack of pictures, I have been slacking on those lately.
