Marine Corps Marathon!
Sunday Ali ran the 26.2 mile Marine Corps Marathon. It was an awesome race, the weather was perfect, the crowds were energetic over the entire course and most importantly Ali finished the race with a solid 10:50/mile pace! The course was like a tour of DC - The Kennedy Center, Washington monument, Jefferson memorial, Lincoln memorial, running along the Potomac river, the National Mall, various Smithsonian museums, the Capital building, etc - if there was a monument Ali ran past it! At one point Marine One (the president's helicopter) few over our heads. The whole event was great! One more race in 3 weeks and then winter hibernation can begin!

Fall festivals
Today my day was packed! I went to the doctor with Daddy, went to swim lessons, went to my school fall festival, drove to DC to pick up mommy's marine corps marathon race packet, and finally came home and went to my community fall festival. The last stop is where I got to ride a pony! I loved it!

October update
The past two days have been busy and super fun. At school it was my turn to have the mystery box and my letter was H. I brought in some pictures and items that started with H like hotdog, hamburger, house, hat and horse.
Then Saturday morning we did volunteering. We worked for an organization called "Campaign to End Hunger" and at our table we bagged up a mixture of soy, rice, dried vegetables and protein powder. Other tables did beans and other foods. Dexter helped holding the bag under the funnel for each person to dump in the ingredients and also with putting the bags into larger boxes. All the food would be given to the poor and hungry in the Appalachian region of Kentucky.
Finally Saturday afternoon I went to my swim class and today I graduated level 4! That means I can float on my back and front, I can fall in and kick back to the wall and I can swim 10 yards out and back without touching the ground. I will now be a swimtot level 5 and my class moves to Saturday mornings. As a reward for graduating I got a new Lego set with Captain America and Red Skull! It is awesome!

Here is what Dexter knows about Christopher Columbus: He sailed 3 ships and he found North America. When he was there he met Indians. His ships are called the Pinta, the Santa Maria and the Nina. He sailed from Europe.

Hello October
Not much has been happening here the past week or two. I have found an amazing new TV show called PAW Patrol which I can not get enough of - it is Rescue bots but with dogs instead of robots. I have been working hard in Kindergarten with handwriting, reading, math and all my special classes. I have decided to be Darth Maul for Halloween, from Star Wars, I already have my whole outfit - mask, shirt, robe and double light saber! Hopefully I can still go to Ohio for Halloween, the city of New Albany's plan to have trick or treating on Thursday has complicated things - Mom will not find out if she can miss work until that week.
