It was time for the Teddy Bear Olympics. Everyone was very excited.
Then they looked outside.
After watching the snow come down, all the Bears stared at each other in silence.
Michael spoke up, saying what everyone thought: "Are you kidding me!? I'm not going out in that!"
However, all was not lost. A number of events could still be held inside.
They included Snowman Posing, Rooftop Jumping, Bobsled, and many others.
JB and Kabonga came in first and second in Skeleton, owing to their aerodynamic shape.
Everyone was amazed at their skill.
Of the team events, the favorite every year was Teddy Bear Pile-Up, and this year was no exception. Vicki and Dakota were the stars.
"I love jumping on the pile," exclaimed Dakota.
Of course, instead of medals, winners were awarded PPP (Preferred Pinochle Partner) status for a whole week.
"In my day, it was for a month," grumbled JB. But he didn't refuse it!
