When Flat Stanley first arrived, he sat on my desk for a few days. Finally he got dressed in a Lakers uniform and embarked on his Southern California adventure. He was mailed back to Chicago, the same way he arrived, in an envelope, but this time wearing Kobe Bryant's uniform, along with photos and a journal of the time he spent exploring LA with Aunt GeeGee.

Bye-bye Stan! I'm guessing in three more years when my other nephew, Jett, is in second grade, Flat Stanley will be back!
The Story
My nephew Stone's second grade class has just finished reading the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. In the story, Stanley is flattened, but not hurt, when a bulletin board falls on top of him. His parents, Mr. & Mrs. Lambchop, send him on a vacation (in an envelope) to visit relatives.
Each student in Stone's class has chosen a friend or relative to entertain Flat Stanley on another trip. Stone chose me! I was instructed to dress Stanley in a way to reflect his visit to Los Angeles, so we borrowed Kobe Bryant's Laker uniform! Now Stanley is ready to explore San Pedro, Los Angeles, and the Port.
TODAY he returns to Chicago (in an envelope) with photos and a journal of his trip. Stone's class will mark each location that Stanley has visited on a world map. They are excited to see the places where Stanley Lambchop went on his globetrotting adventure!

You are so cute! Nice to see you. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a few of reflected self portraits...usually from restaurants.
Stanley saw more things in SP than the natives. Fabulous tour for all!
LOL! I love the Lakers outfit on Flat Stanley. ;-) That's priceless.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a year or two ago, Flat Stanley came to visit me in NY. We had a fun time, too. I posted some of the pics on both blogs. I'm glad to see he had a fun time with you. ;-)

ReplyDeleteI've been away and am catching up on Flat Stanley's big adventure. I think he had a good time.
Hi Trea - same as our freshman year in college? + 37 years!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet.
LL
Yes, same +37 years, just like me!
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean by that is that we are both incredibly gorgeous.
