Cousin Nick sent us Flat Stanley so he could meet Cooper and check out Arizona. For those of you who aren't familiar with Flat Stanley, it is a project that a lot of 2nd graders across the nation participate in each year. They send Flat Stanley off to visit family and friends around the country. Family and friends then take pictures and write about what they did with Flat Stanley in his journal. The children then get to plot on a map in their classroom all the places that he has been. We had fun with him. He got to hang out with Cooper, Papa and the cats; lay by the pool; enjoy the sunshine and warm temps; pick grapefruit; see lots of cactus and even go to San Diego with Papa!
