From Donovan's Perspective

Ok- enough is enough! The weeks keep going by, and my Papa is not getting healthy, in fact, he seems to be getting more injured, and there is no racing happening, and somebody is got to do the racing around here! I did this race last year with my Papa running by my side, because I was a little nervous, but this year I was ready to run it all by myself. The really cool thing is you get a doughnut at the end! And a ribbon!!

With my race number pinned to my shirt, I got my game face ON and lined up at the front with all the big kids, even though the Race Director didn't like it. He sounded the loud horn and "Punch it, Chewie!!", I turned on the jets. I ran hard, with a big smile on my face. About half way, I saw my Papa cheering me on loudly, and I gave him a HIGH 5, and poured on all the gas, racing hard to the finish, where my Mama was jumping up and down and screaming. I crossed the finish line, caught my breath while paparazzi snapped pictures and video left and right, signed a few autographs and then, of course, went to get my DOUGHNUT!
After the race I got to hang out with my friends, Neala and Kyla, who also raced (this was their first race, ever!), and we got to check out a fire engine. I got to wear the firemen's headphone/microphone communication thingie. We then invited them, and their mom and dad, and we all went home, and had a delicious brunch made by Mama, and we we played with legos, nerf guns, watched Pink Panther cartoons, and played some futbol and baseball in the backyard

All in all, it was a very good weekend. Thank you for reading my story. Until the next race.
