I was pretty excited when I checked the mail and there was a package from Georgia inside. I opened it up when I got home and found Flat Stanley!! I had heard about Flat Stanleys before, but I had never gotten one...and I didn't know the whole story. Richelle and I quickly made a list of things I should do with Flat Stanley while he was here...get him arrested, interrogate him, find a cactus...Richelle thought I should take him to the Grand Canyon too. I decided against that...since I work full time and everything.
I decided to keep Flat Stanley past his return date so he could travel to Disneyland with us. I had a lot of fun with this project and I really hope that when he returns to Georgia on Wednesday with all his pictures and his letter about what he did here...that he'll say he had a good time. I really hope we did it right. Here are some pictures of what we did with Flat Stanley. I hope when we send our child's Flat Stanley off for an adventure someday that whoever we send him to has fun and makes it a good experience for the child who sent it.

She made it rain gear and sent it back with pictures and a Hailey (my daughter's name) Washington license plate. Yours will be great! They'll love that Flat Stanley went to Disney Land! I'M jealous of him!
