We received Flat Stanley from our 8 year-old niece Emma with instructions to take him on an adventure and take pictures with him. Flat Stan learned a lot of fun facts about Yuma, saw the lettuce fields, visited the Sonoran Desert took photos with Saguaro cacti, and got bit by Digger the desert turtle and tussled around by our cat cloudy. On our drive out to the desert we saw a group of guys parachuting from a plane into the desert, afterward Jen asked them to take a picture with flat Stan and they happily obliged. In fact Jen and Flat Stanley were interviewed on camera for the Jump School's graduation video montage.
We also visited San Diego where Stan wrote his name in the sand, got knocked over by a wave and took a ride on the beachside rollercoaster. We also brought Stanley along to the crawfish feed at Luke and Kristen's where he met their Flat Stanley. The two Stanley's were floated on a boat into the pool crafted from picnicware - to say the least we thuroughly enjoyed this project!
thanks so much for getting so into this. emma will be thrilled - joe
