This is NASCAR Racing 2010. These NASCARS are racing at Kansas Speedway. They are on Turn 2. Kansas has 270 laps.
This is NFL 2010. It is a picture of the Bengals in the middle and the other teams around it. This is just a few of them. NFL is pronounced N first, next F, then L. You can also watch NFL on TV. And you can play the game NFL 07, 08, 09, or 10. Right now, the Redskins just won!
This is the Lincoln Memorial. It is in Washington, D.C. It is our United States’ capital of our country. It is in between Virginia and Maryland. Maryland is the Old Line State. It is brown. The Lincoln Memorial is on the back of most pennies.
This is the White House where the presidents live in the United States. It is white. It has an American flag. On the bottom, it has a bowling alley. Richard Nixon built it. Jimmy Carter was born on a peanut farm. President Gerald Ford played football. Thomas Jefferson’s pet, Dick, a mockingbird, took food from his lips! President William H. Taft played baseball. And last, but not least, Barack Obama is our president. He lives in the White House too. And is our 44th president. He used to live in a regular house. And he will run again in 2012. Most of the presidents lived in the White House.
This is the Washington, DC Monument at sunset. It is white or gray. And it is pointy and tall. It sits on a circle platform in the water. It is in Washington, DC. It is taller than 3 school buses or more. About 65 Lincoln presidents would make the Washington, DC Monument. It also has an American flag on top of it. When there was only 13 states, people thought it wasn’t there. But it was! But it only had 13 stars and they were placed in a circle. It is one of the popular buildings. It is fat at the bottom by skinny at the top. It would take you about 10 or 11 months to reach the tippy top of it! It almost reaches the clouds. The White House is pretty near it. Washington, DC has it in the United States.
This is called Rainbow the Doughnut. He turned out to be just the doughnut he wanted to be: swirled rainbow icing and yummy breading. He remembered when he was cut into a ring, deep fried, cooled, iced, sprinkled, and named. Then, he looked all around and saw all sorts of doughnuts sitting nearby. Then, someone named Mr. Bing buys him. He wanted to eat him, but Rainbow said, “What are you doing?!!” He said,”I was going to eat you!” and Rainbow said, “So, why didn’t someone offer to eat me?” Mr. Bing said, “Well, because you are a doughnut, that’s what you are for—to eat!” After one hour, Mr. Bing said, “I think you should leave.” But then he said, “Why don’t you be my doughnut dog and we can roll over and take walks?” And then he slept with him.
