A Weekend with Flat Stanley

What an absolutely beautiful Saturday in St. Louis. the weather was PERFECT.

After Jake's basketball game and lunch, we decided to head out with our house guest...

Flat Stanley.

For anyone that does not know about Flat Stanley.... let me explain.

My beautiful great-niece Serena has a school project. Her class is reading a book about Stanley.

Stanley is a boy who gets smushed flat by a chalkboard. He then asks his parents to mail him so he can visit family .

That is the basic story( it has been a few years since I have read it).

The class project for the students involves mailing their own "flat Stanley" to family or friends.

The recipient of Stanley takes him to their activities or sight seeing..or what-ever.

We took Stanley to some of the BEST places in St. Louis.

The weather was perfect. We went to The Bevo Mill, then to the Old Cathedral and the St. Louis Arch. After that we headed over to see the Busch Stadium. We "showed" Stanley all the hot-spots in St. Louis.

That of course had to include Gus's Pretzels and TED DREWS.

It was a GREAT DAY.

We plan to take Stanley to Grant's Farm and the Zoo ...if time allows.

We also have to take Stanley to White Castles.....

St. Louis is a GREAT place to live.

Thanks to Stanley for helping us to remember that!
