Stanley gets some sun in South Beach!!!!
















Stanley took a walk to the beach and on the way he stopped at the Miami Beach Police Department to play on top of the tank that's out front. Then Stanley played on the beach. He saw the people and the buildings as well as the umbrellas, birds, kids and even the lifeguard. He got buried in the sand too! Stanley swam in the ocean and played in the sand.
After the beach Stanley went to the Miami Beach pool. He played with the kids in the cool water park and got his picture taken with the life guard at the pool. After swimming Stanley went to the park and played some tennis. He really enjoyed it!
After a long nap, Stanley played with our Dogs Tootie and Edna. Edna tried to eat Stanley a little bit. They had so much fun! For dinner, Stanley had his favorite: Pizza and Coke! He was so full afterwards that he went right to sleep. Stanley had such a great trip to Miami Beach. Thank you for sending him!

Flat Stanley enjoys California!!!!











A couple weeks ago, Flat Stanley took a trip to California! He flew on a big airplane. He got to see mountains out the plane window. He also saw LOTS of palm trees in California. It was very warm there and Flat Stanley enjoyed playing in the sun. Here are some pictures from his trip...

WOW!!! Flat Stanley in Belgium!!!
















Hello Isaly!

Flat Stanley has been very busy! He first flew to San Francisco, and then was sent on a surprise business trip to Europe! He loves trains, so you can see a picture of him riding the train in Holland. (orange seat.) In Belgium, he first went to Brugge. He visited city hall which is located in a big open square. Many people ride bicycles in Belgium, so flat stanley tried to ride a bicycle too. Then, he went to Brussels. He read some newspapers in different languages, ate some chocolate, and visited some beautiful old buildings. He also visited the EU parliment!

He is pretty tired, but he is still travelling in Holland and will send more pictures soon!

Thanks for sending him to stay with me!

Flat Stanley loves the warm weather in Florida!!!











Dear Isabel,

Flat Stanley visited us in Central Florida at an adult community called Solivita. It is a place were people that are older, like Grandma and Grandpa's live. We had a fun time with Stanley. He went to our playground, golf course, swimming and just walking the street of our community. We also took him to Epcot at Walt Disney World. At Epcot we took him on the ride in the Large Sphere (our friends are holding him) and to see a concert at the American experience. Lastly we took Stanley to see an orange grove. We loved having Stanley visit and Isabel we will send your friend back to you. Tell your teacher to watch for him.

Mr. and Mrs Guminski

Flat Stanley visits Ms. Ruby in Mahwah, NJ!!!







Jason,

Wow. We had so much fun last night. Alexia and I live in a small town in Mahwah, New Jersey. This town is the last town before New York State and is very pretty. Right now all the leaves have turned very different colors and it is getting colder. Flat Stanley kept us company last night as we stayed home and gave out candy to all of the children. We live in an apartment and decorated the hallway. Flat Stanley was a big help! Even Ruby, our pet bunny, likes FS. We have another bunny named Mr. Bunny but we cannot get him to sit still long enough to take his picture with FS!

Flat Stanley visits a mayor!!!
















Yazmin-
Stanley went with Grace and I to her school, Madison Park. Her first grade teacher, Ms. Seely loved having a visitor to class. Stanley also visited City Hall where I work as the Business Development Director. He helped the Mayor, City Clerk and Police Department. Litchfield is a town of 7,000 people. Grace took Stanley with her to her soccer game where she scored two goals. Stanley went with our family to a weiner roast where we cooked hot dogs and smores by the fire on our Uncle's farm. Then he went to small town Halloween Parade. Stanley helped us carve two pumpkins. Grace looks like one of the pumpkins missing her front teeth. Thank you for letting Stanley visit our town. Everyone loved him here.

Thanks!!! Tonya
