Halloween is almost here…..

This week there will be kids of all ages dressing up to frighten and delight. There will be little Ghouls and Gobblins going door to door trick or treating as well. But did you know that 40 children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes every day. That rate is growing. So here is my suggestion. For Halloween I am giving away….

Cheetos! That’s right snack packs that kids can even put in there lunch boxes for school. Ohiophotogrl has several friends that are diabetic and have told stories about having to give most of there Halloween candy away because they can’t have it.
Ohiophotogrl and I want every kid both big and small to have a great and SAFE Halloween. Here are our tips.
1) NEVER ever go into a strangers house!
2) Be Careful crossing the street. Look both ways and hold someone’s hand…you might not need help but someone you are with might.
3) Where something reflective or carry a flashlight. Cars need to be able to see you!
4) Alway let an adult look thru your candy when you get home. Never eat anything that looks like it has been opened.
And lastly don’t let Ohiophotogrl look thru your bag she will take all your Tootsie Rolls.
Guess I should go look for my costume. Maybe Ohiophotogrl will take me out!
Wonder what we’re gonna do tomorrow?

Interesting

I was out and about today and Ohiophotogrl found me a new work station.

As I was walking thru the mall with ohiophotogrl today I found this guy.

He was on a shelf saying exterminate, exterminate……..over and over again so we left him at the store.
I think he might be from another planet. He also said he was looking for the Doctor. Hmmmmm

SO it appears that ohiophotogrl thought she could sneak off to DC.  Thats right the nations capital.  Glad I snuck in her bag because we got to see a lot of cool things.  The coolest of those being we got to see the Presidents car zoom by and Ohiophotogrl got a profile pic of the President himself…How cool is that.  Zoom in if you can.  We are pretty sure it was him :0)

What an adventure

The last couple of days have been one thing after another. I had no idea how much walking ohiophotogrl and I would be doing! I rode the Metro in…blue line here we go.

We went to a place called Union Station. It was so cool! There are real trains there and ohiophotogrl gave a speech…..

In case you don’t know that is the Lincoln Memorial!
What an awesome day! I need some rest to start again tomorrow.
Wonder what we’re gonna do tomorrow?

Now what

As you saw in my last blog I snuck into ohiophotogrls camera bag.
Funny story, she stopped at a rest area and I climbed out of the bag (it was dark in there. I wouldn’t recommend traveling in a bag, anyway)

IMG_2321.JPG
When she came out of the rest area she spotted me. She just shook her head and climbed in the passengers seat. She let me drive for a bit. This is gonna be a fun trip.
I still don’t know where we are going!
But it makes me wonder what we’re gonna do tomorrow?
