Capers with Winston

We did a long walk on capers island with our dog. It was really cloudy but the dark clouds look like blue sky. Winston chased a few dogs but he always came back to us. This is called the boneyard.

The Cannons

We went for a big walk in the cannon park down town. It was really windy there so it was really fun! When we finished our walk we had a picnic and climbed on the cannons. It as really cool to see.

Summer walks/runs

Hello again! I'm in the fifth grade and I'm going to still be posting as much as last year! I did a lot of walking and running during the summer and  did a couple 5k runs to!   The summer was  really fun and I'm glad to be posting again!   ..
                                                                                          U
                                                                                 
  
Here are some of the runs I did!

During the spring I went to Washington DC  to my Grandpa's funeral in Arlington Cemetery . It was really sad but interesting at the same time. I miss my Grandpa but it was cool to see all the museums and monuments. My Grandpa was buried in front of the Pentagon.   

 This is me in front of the White House. This did not look how I imagined it to look but it was awesome!

    

                    This is me with my brother and my cousin Lauren who went around the city with us. We went to the Lincoln memorial and walked up the steps about 20 times! In this picture it looks like Lincoln is photo bombing  us!

                               Its so nice in Washington and I hope I can go back soon!!!                            

Happy days

This is my last post of this school year. Thank you for following my blog and thank you for your support. Follow me this summer while I continue my walks and runs and raise more money for MUSC Children's Hospital. See you soon!

MUSC Cancer Research Center

This is Dr. Jacqueline Kraveka and she is in charge of the research lab at the Children's Hospital at MUSC which is the Medical University of South Carolina. I got to visit the lab because my classmate and friend Joey Izzo donated his birthday money to MUSC research so we got a special tour. I learned a lot about the lab and we got to see some actual cancer cells under a microscope and see the refrigeration for chemicals and cells. We got to go in the -2 degree refrigeration unit that they use. 

This is my teacher Mr. Zak telling us things about the lab and that they use the exact same process of science that we do but they just have bigger and more expensive toys.

secret shark teeth beach

Sometimes we run on this beach and sometimes we just look for shark's teeth!  You can kayak, swim, or boat, or canoe, or jet ski, or land on the beach by parachute but you can't get there by car!!!

The Lincoln photo bomb!

We took a trip to Washington DC because my Grandpa was buried at Arlington and that is a cemetery for soldiers who have been killed and or injured in a war or for a medal and the Army wants to honor them. My Grandpa's grave is facing the pentagon. I thought Arlington was amazing because everywhere you look there are white grave stones. We did a lot of walking and sightseeing also.

This is my cousin Lauren and my brother Cole at the Lincoln Memorial. You have to climb up a lot of steps to get there so we ran up them!
