A Weekend with Stanley

Some wonderful friends of our moved to Alaska a few years ago.  We miss them SO bad (enough guilt there Allie?).  Luckily we keep in touch (thanks to Allie, because anyone that knows me knows that I am TERRIBLE at keeping in touch!).  This spring their boy that is Tori's age sent a "Flat Stanley" for her to show around for the weekend.  For those of you that have never read the book, or had a child do this activity, it is based on a book about a little boy who gets flattened by a bulletin board.  Sounds weird, but it is great for a unit activity about travel, etc.  Anyway--Stanley was mailed to us in an envelope, we had some adventures with him, and then we sent them back.  Here are some of our adventures with Stanley:

Stanley had a sleepover with Tori and Lily.  Stanley enjoyed movies, popcorn, the works!
Then Stanley helped make a volcano with Owen and the girls.  

Finally, Stanley got to visit the museum.  


Sometimes it is nice to have an excuse to do some fun things and let everything else wait til later.  Thanks Shane!  We had fun!
