We received this message today from Carly in Virginia stating the following:
"Just so you can let Alexa know, Stanley, My friend Dawn, & I are all going to Washington DC tomorrow! He will likely see the Washington & Lincoln Memorials, The Vietnam Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, and possibly Arlington Cemetery. We may venture over to the Holocaust Museum to put flowers down as well. Stanley will be a part of current events too."
It sounds like Stanley will be doing a lot of cool things there in DC!
And we received this message from Elizabeth in Connecticut:
"Hi Alexa! Its Flat Stanley emailing from CT! We've had so much fun here. I arrived on Wed and we had a pretty calm day. It was really rainy here which is pretty normal for New England weather. Then Thurs I accompanied Maxwell and Gavin to their tumbling class, they were so funny running around and having fun with their friends. Today, we are having a relaxing day again because my little host Maxwell is a bit tired. Tomorrow I think Ill accompany Maxwell to his Nana's house where we will spend the night though, oh the fun we will have!
I'm really happy here in CT but I can't wait to come home to you and show you my new clothes!!
Love, Flat Stanley!"
We are looking forward to seeing your new clothes! Have fun at Nana's house :)
I also received Flat Stanley pictures from my mom who took him to Vermont this week. The first one is Flat Stanley in the formal gardens behind Hildene (Robert Lincoln's estate):
This is Flat Stanley at the Shaftsbury Dump "swap shop" (where people can dump things they think other people might want to take):
This is Flat Stanley looking at Abraham Lincoln's hat:
This is Flat Stanley with a small moose which was decorated by kids at the local elementary school (for "Moose Fest"):
These two are more of the moose Stanley saw at Moosefest (I love the ice cream one)!
Note the cute little "I Love Vermont" teeshirt :)
That Stanley left us this email last night:
"Hi Alexa,
I had a great time in Vermont! Saw and did a lot of things.
But I do miss you and am looking forward to coming back home
tomorrow. I will be bringing pictures and souvenirs.
Love from Flat Stanley"
